** "Is there a lore reason why..."

** Jonkler[[labelnote:Explanation]]Most Arkhamposts spell the names of various Batman characters [[MaliciousMisnaming hilariously wrong]]. Some popular names include "Jonkler" for the Joker, "Bone" for Bane, and "Killer Cock" for Killer Croc.[[/labelnote]]

** "Be me straight, [homosexual text], am I gay/still straight? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to Youtube and Reddit reposting stories from 4chan, a few of them tend to consist of anons claiming to be straight [[ImmediateSelfContradictiononly for their story to depict anon]] engaging in homosexual behaviors before asking other anons if they're now gay or [[ImplausibleDeniability claiming they're still straight]]. Naturally, the amount of poorly disguised gay erotica was enough for several users to start mocking the formula, with one greentext being so poorly written that it was ridiculed on Twitter.[[/labelnote]]

* "Fake and gay" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Users of r/4chan and similar subreddits often like to ridicule greentexts where the anon tries and fails to get into a relationship with a woman or any stories involving women by claiming that the story is fake and the anon is secretly homosexual.[[/labelnote]]

* INFO: what the fuck? [[labelnote:Explanation]]First-level comments on [=r/AmItheAsshole=] must start with a code sorting them into one of five categories -- four possible judgements, or "INFO" to request further information. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/dp37p9/aita_for_asking_a_neighbor_if_she_wanted_to_share/ One thread with a particularly thoughtless OP]] got a commenter simply asking what in the world was wrong with him.[[/labelnote]]

** Milking the creature [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://i.redd.it/2124phmqo7681.jpg An odd series of TSH stories created by multiple different redditors]] about milking an unspecified creature for non-milk fluids. Many comments on 2sentence2horror posts will retool the story in those posts to be about milking the creature, often done by /u/ledfox specifically.[[/labelnote]]

* "What is your unpopular opinion?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A common way people use to far karma is to make a thread with this title. It's often widely mocked by those outside of the Reddit, because the top comments are often always [[ImmediateSelfContradiction the most parroted and most agreed with opinions of the Reddit in question]].[[/labelnote]]

** Jonkler[[labelnote:Explanation]]Most Arkhamposts spell the names of various Batman characters [[MaliciousMisnaming hilariously wrong]]. Some popular names include "Jonkler" for the Joker, and "Killer Cock" for Killer Croc.[[/labelnote]]

* Poop Knife [[labelnote:Explanation]]A person went to their friend's house and used the bathroom, and asked for his poop knife. He had no idea what he was talking about.[[/labelnote]]

* DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS [[labelnote:Explanation]]A poster on [=r/legaladvice=] was accused of drunkenly sexually harassing a woman while at a hotel for a work event in a way that was so egregious that the hotel threw his ''entire company'' out and made them PersonaNonGrata. The poster could see the writing on the wall, but wanted to know if there was even a shred of a chance that they could potentially walk away from this with their job still there, and the poster's emphasis of how they were a Director of Operations (in all-caps) making $125,000/yr (which, as many commenters pointed out, was well below market average for that position, indicating that they either worked for a very small company or were in an isolated geographic area) and enormous sense of entitlement and total lack of any sense of responsibility earned the unanimous ire of the commenters. In a follow-up post, they revealed that they were fired after the hotel had presented surveillance footage to the company, and were going to lie to their wife about the circumstances of their departure. Some time later, a poster who appeared to be their wife showed up in r/relationships asking how to handle the impending divorce with their son, and in the comments, she detailed exactly what they picked up on surveillance: her husband had cornered the woman in a swimming pool while ''very obviously masturbating through his swimsuit.''[[/labelnote]]

* '''SO BRAVE''': Said in response to someone declaring a widely held opinion, such as "Creationists are stupid". As of late, also applies to stereotypical Reddit views, such as militant atheism, in the same vein as 'euphoria'.
* "My autistic army veteran gay cat brother drew this on his deathbed" and variations [[labelnote:Explanation]]Making fun of people's tendency to include a sob story for a picture in the title, fishing for upvotes.[[/labelnote]]

* "You have been banned from /r/pyongyang" Refers to an incident where posters of [[https://www.reddit.com/r/MURICA /r/]][[EagleLand MURICA!]] invaded and vandalized the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/pyongyang /r/pyongyang]] subreddit with American silliness. /r/pyongyang completely shut itself off from public viewing and banned everyone involved. Now anytime a negative statement about North Korea is made on the site, someone will respond like this.
** Alternately: "You are now a moderator of /r/pyongyang" for positive statements about North Korea.
*** /r/pingpong has been getting involved due to the similar names. The general formula is that if you're 'banned' from /r/pyongyang, you become a moderator of /r/pingpong and vice versa.

** Bad Apple vs Canada [[labelnote:Explanation]]The osu! fandom smoothly recreated the Bad Apple video on the canvas and comparisons were made, as Canada continued to struggle to draw a leaf.[[/labelnote]]

* Arkhamposting [[labelnote:Explanation]] The lack of new content from the popular ''Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries'' resulted in posters posting or commenting references to popular posts from the subreddit or quotes from the games.[[/labelnote]]

** "The bomb's payload is exposed, I can use the power winch to trigger a controlled explosion."

* Hatred for Music/KanyeWest — usually directed at his ego, behavior, and/or music — was popular on frontpage subreddits, usually accompanied with South Park's "fishsticks" joke (wherein a delusional, angry Kanye believes a "fishsticks/fishdicks" joke that became popular in-universe means [[InsaneTrollLogic he is a gay fish, because everything is about him]]). Enough angry music fans (mainly from [[https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads /r/hiphopheads]] and [[https://www.reddit.com/r/lewronggeneration/ /r/lewronggeneration]], the latter dedicated to [[NostalgiaFilter combating "music [x] decades ago was SO much better than today's music]] posts) started counter-hate posts mocking the "fishsticks" joke and asking if that person's taste in music includes "someone who's innovated and reinvented rap". Metaposts mocking both circlejerks pop up with gusto, as a result.
