Thanksgivukkah 

Thanksgivukkah is the name given to the convergence of the American holiday of Thanksgiving and the first day of Hanukkah on November 28, 2013. It is a result of a rare kink between the lunar Hebrew calendar and the Gregorian calendar. According to nuclear physicist Jonathan Mizrahi, the overlap only occurs once every 80,000 years.
The phrase was coined by Boston-area resident Dana Gitell. Gitell, along with her sister-in-law Deborah Gitell, created a Facebook page and Twitter account devoted to the phenomenon. A Los Angeles-based festival will be held on November 29, 2013 at the Pico Union Building.
Thanksgivukkah is characterized by products promoted on and sold online. Funds to produce a turkey-shaped menorah, dubbed "a menurkey" were raised via a Kickstarter campaign. The Los Angeles Thanksgivukkah festival is being funded by a campaign on Jewcer.
While the imagery and products surrounding the day are light-hearted, advocates contend it has a broader significance resonant with American democracy. "There are amazing similarities between the Pilgrims’ quest for religious freedom and what the Maccabees were fighting for,” one organizer told the New York Daily News.“This a great opportunity for Jewish Americans to celebrate this country and for everyone to acknowledge the greatness of our shared religious freedoms.”
Combined holiday of Thanksgiving and the first day of Hanukkah, hence "Thanksgivukkah," on November 28th, 2013. Resulting from the rare kink between the lunar Hebrew calendar and the Gregorian calendar which occurs every 80,000 years!

Thanks Pete 

Mostly said by fans of Fall Out Boy after when Patrick couldn't reach the mic, Pete Wentz attempted to lift him up to it
Patrick: Er, and thanks to this mic stand for being really tall
Pete: *Lifts Patrick up*
Patrick: Thanks Pete
Since then, Fall Out Boy fans will randomly blurt out THANKS PETE or instead of just saying thanks. Now thank Pete for this definition
Friend: *opens door for me to walk through*
Me: *walks through* Thanks Pete!
Friend: dafuq

Thanks Pete 

A Fall Out Boy reference created when Patrick Stump was too short (and is STILL to short) to reach his microphone. Pete Wentz attempted to lift Patrick up, resulting in the forever reference "Thanks Pete!"
Friend: *opens door*

Me: thanks pete

Friend: what the fuck

So long, and thanks for all the fish 

What the dolphins said (or tried to say) to us humans as they left right before the Earth was destroyed in the book The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

That guy who tries to top a joke that's already been made.
Lee doesn't get the comedy pyramid. There's set up, rising action, punchline. Lee keeps going after the joke's been made. Thanks, Lee.

Thanksgiving is marked in late November in the US by sharing a meal with family and friends. The meal for most Americans in 2018 includes large portions of animal flesh, usually turkey flesh. Animal rights advocates championing the cause of justice, empathy, compassion for non-human animals along the same lines as human animals, mark this occasion by sharing a meal devoid of animal cruelty. An animal friendly meal celebrating human and non-human animal lives is referred to as Thanksliving.
