like and subscribe

The phrase commonly used at the beginning of YouTube videos, reminding viewers to show support by liking the video and subscribing to the channel for more content. Hence, it becomes increasingly common for "Don't forget to like and subscribe" to be the first sentence of YouTube videos.

Every time I tune in to a new vlog, the first thing I hear is, 'Don't forget to like and subscribe!' It's like a ritual now.

mousedeered

"Mousedeered" is a slang term for "insomnia", derived from the Indonesian word "kancilan" with this same meaning — which is in turn derived from the Indonesian word "kancil" meaning "mouse deer". Mousedeered is commonly caused by excessive caffeine consumption (especially through black coffee) and screen time within an hour before bed.

After finishing that late cup of black coffee, I knew I was going to be mousedeered all night.

nailed it

"Nailed it" is an informal idiom used to express that a task was executed perfectly or exceptionally well, similar to saying "You did a great job" or "Perfect!". The phrase comes from the idea of hitting a nail perfectly on the head to drive it straight into a surface without bending it, symbolizing precise and successful completion.

I was super nervous about my presentation, but when I finished and everyone applauded, I thought, 'Nailed it!'
