Ok, I need to know something... You know how the web has passing "phrase fads"? For example: "But does it blend?" was the punch line to any joke on Digg for a full month. It was started by fans of the website of the same name...
Could someone explain the "I'm in your [noun]z [virb]ing your [noun]" phrase? Where the hell did it come from?

Also, Icanhascheeseburger and lolcats. Talking animals, that is.
I love cats, though, for the record.

I first saw it associated with the picture of two cats with their paws on x box controllers. The caption was "I'm in ur base, killin' ur doodz."
There's a Wikipedia entry (that I can't find... I can't find anything today... not even on synaptic) that explains that the phrase "I'm in your base killing your dudes..." was coined on some online game... I wish I could find the damn entry.

It's better than "All your ________ are belong to us!"
I just about KILLED my roomate back in college for that one. It became his catchphrase for over a year.

Metafilter tells me the wikipedia article was removed, but this sums it up nicely.

There is apparently more at Encyclopedia Dramatica but it's blocked at here at work so I can't verify how good the information is.

The web clichés are too numerous, but the girl (Ellen Flise (probably have her last name spelled wrong) from the Apple commercial and the "HA HA" guy are the first too that come to mind.

Or how about the plethora of blog terms?
Let's see - a dlog for blogs about dogs.
A vlog for video blogs.
A mblog or moblog of blogs updated from a mobile device ...
Blawgh for law blogs.
Pajamahadeen (the collective name for political bloggers and activists, typically challenging the traditional media, which dismisses them as “guys in their pajamas”)
Blook for blogs that are turned into books (I'm not actually against this one since I do coverage for this medium)
Flook for blogs turned to books turned to film (This one I AM against).
Bleaders for blog readers (eww!)
and Blauthors for blog authors (another eew!)

Bleaders is as bas as the term NINnys I came across one time for Nine Inch Nails fans.
But bleaders just takes eew! to a whole new level of yuck!

Somehow Bleaders remind me of sheep. It's wince inducing, to say the least. If it gains acceptance ... we at my.9r would be a huge bunch of opinionated bleaders. A big, fat bleadersphere.
Disgusting.

I like the owls. And the kitties. My pet peeve is when people say "FTW" and "FTL" all the time.

Sorry, I hate cats... but I hate the silly cat meme that I am seeing everywhere (including here) even more. I sure hope this "stupid web phrase" goes away quickly.

No way man, lolcats FTW.
Also yeah, encyclopedia dramatica has info on all this and many other stuff you should know.
P.S: is that Jim from The Office, beancounter?
