Was it over when the Japanese invaded Poland?! 

Humorous inversion of “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”
“They say it’s over, we’re down and out, no chance. And to that I say: Over? Was it over when the Japanese invaded Poland?!”

Jesus H. God 

A quite humorous variation of “Jesus H. Christ”, most famously used in the 1986 film “Short Circuit”. An apt term for expressing your extreme shock at a sudden turn of events.
Weather reporter: “Folks in the DFW area may not be able to see the April 8th solar eclipse due to cloud coverage.”

Person who invested time and money to travel to Texas specifically for this event: “JESUS H. GOD!”

Bobulated 

A mental state equivalent to average awareness.

Coordinate terms:

Combobulated - being in a state of higher than average awareness

Discombobulated - being in a state of lower than average awareness
Alice was quite combobulated, paying close attention in her classes and getting all A’s. Rick, meanwhile, often found himself discombobulated by his instructor’s lengthy lectures. Meanwhile, Steve followed along fine for the most part, but sometimes needed to ask for help. He was perfectly bobulated.

"Yes" joke 

Possibly the most incorrectly formulated joke found on the internet, especially in YouTube comments. Here is how it is usually phrased, let's say we're talking about a song with a lot of autotune. A commenter who's feeling clever might quip:

Producer 1: How much autotune should we put in this song?

Producer 2: Yes

This is INCORRECT, it is nonsensical and ungrammatical if you stop to think about it for two seconds. How much and how many are not yes / no questions, you can't answer "how much?" with "yes" unless you also specify two or more options. For example:

Q: How much autotune should we put in this song, a few touches or a robot-stroke inducing truckload?

A: Yes
Person 1: Should we make a few grammatically incorrect "Yes" jokes or spam the entire internet with them?

Person 2: Yes

All my base are belong to you 

A particularly endearing Millennial love confession. It should be noted that if said to a non-millennial, there is a very high probability that it will come off as extremely confusing and likely result in your sanity (and grasp of the English language) being questioned.
John: "Sarah, all my base are belong to you."

Sarah: "Oh John, I love you too!"

Bewildered bystander: "Huh?"

Knowing bystander: "It's a Millennial thing."
