Your Princess is in Another Castle 

Similar to these aren't the droids you're looking for, Your Princess is in Another Castle is a phrase used to tell someone they're looking in the wrong place or otherwise barking up the wrong tree, often used sarcastically.

The phrase refers to a cutscene in the original Super Mario Bros. game which became a well-known gaming meme, seen at the end of every castle save for the final castle in World-8: A Toad would be waiting for you in the room immediately after the boss fight with Bowser and say, "Thank you, Mario! But our Princess is in another castle." This became increasingly frustrating, since, this being a classic Nintendo hard game, the difficulty spiked dramatically between each castle, and reaching the next one, let alone beating it, always required an even more ridiculous amount of skill.
Bob: Joe, have you seen Vanessa? She stole my car and my wallet this morning, after I brought her home from that party at your place last night.
Joe: Sorry, man, but your princess is in another castle. I haven't seen her since last night, either. I dunno what to tell you, except call the cops.

But Our Princess is in Another Castle 

An appropriately mocking response to single men when they complain about not being able to find their ideal mate. Originated from the game Super Mario Bros. when at the end of every world save the last one Mario would be greeted by a mushroom man who would inform him "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" And when he does finally find the Princess she just sends him out to do it all over again with more difficult challenges. Represents the futility of the search for a mate in a humorous way to which the children of the 80's can easily relate.
Single guy: So I spent another Valentine's day alone at the bar, I hate my life sometimes. Where am I suppose to find a sane girlfriend?

The princess is in another castle 

1) The event in which you expect a female, only to get something else (like a dude) instead, especially in the case of dating a transvestite or someone similar. The phrase originates from Super Mario Bros., where instead of getting the princess at the end of all but the last castle, you end up rescuing a Toad instead.

2) The event in which a female does not show up at the appointed place and/or time.
Male 1: "Dude, I went out with this one bitch, only to realize she was really a guy!" Male 2: "Haha, the princess is in another castle!"
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Nerd neck 

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
