thanks in advance 

An expression of entitlement disguised as gratitude. The implicit message in giving thanks for something that hasn't been done is that it WILL be done. This expression also excuses the user from having to provide actual gratitude after the request is completed.

Have those reports on my desk before you leave today. Thanks in advance!

thanks in advance 

The last sentence found in questions asked by most people online. Commonly found in help forums or almost everywhere.

Often looked down upon by others, especially as a first impression.

"Can I get help with this function?

Thanks in advance!"

Fuck You In Advance

when plans are going down for something really stupid and you have been tricked/convinced into being a part of it, instead of just saying no though, you just say "fuck you" in advance. can also be used when you know an individual (mostly the stooge of the group) is going to mess something up.

getting ready to deliver flyers to the neighbourhood:
Guy 1: "okay so we got to 300 houses in like 4 hours..."
Guy 2: "we are so screwed"
Guy 3 "this is going to go terribly wrong"
Guy 1 to Stooge of Group: "fuck you in advance"

RIP in Advance 

or R.I.P. in Advance

Funny combination of "RIP" and "Thanks in Advance".

It is used when someone consciously begins a job or a mission which has a high death risk. This phrase describes this kind of ironic and tragicomic situations.

- Have you heard the news? A Canadian woman joined YPG forces to fight against ISIS.
- Well, RIP in Advance then.

Thanks In Advance 

Opposite of providing a public service. Quite the contrary; to expect or redeem, to posess a sense of self entitlement

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." And for God's sake, be more responsible than "claiming" to use protection and "claiming" to be a single stay at home mom living high on the hog because you have no choice.

Grow up and get a job already you 30 year old teenager!

High on the hog thanks in advance

A warning 10 years in advance

"We're sorry about your kid..." ~ Ritard

Ritard "We had a warning 10 years in advance but we didn't do anything about it because we were also doing a targeted harassment campaign and he created AI. But we wanted him locked up more than we wanted your kid to live... So... Yeah..."

Hym "2 year old dies after left in a hot car while mother gets lip-filler! YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT YOUR OWN KIDS! THEY KILL THEIR OWN KIDS! THEY FUCK THEIR OWN KIDS! And now the are harassing and surveilling and stealing from me so they can be self-righteous about their kids because they are sub-human pieces for shit! And I'm not letting you play burden of proof hot potato. That is all this is. And if they say anything other than THAT☝️ THEY ARE LYING! That is exactly what's happening here!"
