Themself

An English word that for some damn reason sounds incorrect to our brain, is not listed as a word, gets spellchecked, but yet is perfectly correct grammar-wise.

Why it's not an officially recognized word (while its plural form is) is beyond me.

For example, in the sentence "the Church themself stated that...", the Church is a single entity and therefore can be used in its singular form.
Guy 1: You know what's even more stupid than Elon's tweets?

Guy 2: What?
Guy 1: The fact that themself is not officially recognized as a word.
Guy 2: Frfr bro

Meta Quest

A great VR headset with the most uncool name. Sounds like the name of some random educational software. Compare that to a modern badass name like Oculus Rift or Oculus Go. The words themselves are very ambiguous. Like am I on a meta quest or something?? Lol.
Me when I think of Oculus Rift: *cool, epic gamer vibes ensues*
Me when I think of Meta Quest: *cricket, cricket....* oh wait, I think I'm feeling something.... *educational software vibes ensues*

Do your research

An aphorism intended to be used by any intellectual to tell someone to get to know their subject better before spreading outright BS.

Unfortunately, the phrase has more often than not been abused by internet trolls, zealots and narcissists as a hilariously hypocritical thought-terminating cliché. If used by trolls, they will go even further and link the same exact sources that you would have used against them, thereby deliberately angering you even more.

This phrase can also be used satirically, facetiously or sarcastically. In this case that is totally fine.
▼Correct/Benevolent usage▼
John: Eyy bro! Glad we could meet up at the mall. Wait, where's your mask?

Robbie: Eh I forgot it at home, but I figured I wouldn't get covid anyway cause I got the vaccine. Besides there's not many people here.
John: Bro wtf? Do you not know what the masks are really for? Please do your research man.

▼Incorrect/Malevolent Usage▼
Troll: I can't wait till that new Xperia phone comes out! I love that they are using a 144hz display.
User 1: Are you joking? It states everywhere that the display is 120hz, not 144hz.
Troll: Do your research bud. Clearly you must be trolling.
User 1: I did and you are wrong. Trolling?? LMFAO hypocrite.
Troll: *sends a link to Sony's website which blatantly states that the display is 120hz* Here's your proof bud, it says 144hz. How does it feel to be wrong?
User 2: Ugh somebody report this troll please.

▼Satirical/Facetious/Sarcastic Usage▼
Friend 1: Probably the most stupid vine I ever saw was that kid who kept saying 9+10=21.
Friend 2: What?! Are you telling me you don't know that 9+10=21?? Do your research girl! Haha.

Scalper

Despicable little fuckers that caused the 2021 graphics cards shortage.

They're the reason why we can't purchase a graphics card at a normal price.

Scalpers are literally the bane of everyone's existence.
Derp: You see ted over there?

Berp: Yeah
Derp: He's a scalper
Berp: Ew fuck that guy
Derp: Yeah fuck him

It isn't what it isn't

Essentially the same meaning as "it is what it is", but to make it more clear that you can't "wish" for the unpleasant thing/situation/fate to not happen.
Dudebro 1: Dude my bank account just got hacked and I lost $2000, I wish this would've never happened to me.
Dudebro 2: It isn't what it isn't man.
