This is a rallying cry for people excited about the stock of a specific company. It became popularized on r/wallstreetbets during the 2021 short squeeze of GameStop's shares (GME), which were being short-sold at a high level by major hedge funds. The high number of buys by WSB forced the hedge funds to repurchase the shares at a much higher price and therefore at a tremendous loss, allowing wage-earning millennials to stick it to Wall St traders and their boomer clients. The millennials who still came out at a loss thought it was worth it.

A condition that nearly every man suffers. It's noticeable when a guy gets sucked into one of his male behaviors that he channels his inner autist.

This is an adjective used to refer to the ideas of Canadian professor and psychologist, Jordan Peterson. Typically it is used in reference to his ideas around archetypes, meaning, and personal responsibility, which are the preeminent topics his books and lectures.
At first I thought Disney's "Hercules" was just a fun cartoon made for kids, but then I noticed there's a very Petersonian narrative here, wherein the titular demigod has a burden of physical strength that he cannot control and chooses to bear it in pursuit of becoming a "true hero," and on that journey he acquires a new strength: of character.

Usually the hardest and most hated level in any video game. This is because the physics and spatial reasoning of being underwater are usually very different from most other levels in a game, meaning that you can't rely on the muscle memory you've built up in previous levels to carry you through. Also, they tend to have very hard (and very scary) monsters.
