get on your zoom 

To urge someone divert their attention or energy towards something of greater importance or relevance.

This is a popular saying used mostly by TikTok users. In 2020, TikToker QueenZieLocTheVoice recorded a video of her urging her daughter to wake up from sleeping in and log into her virtual Zoom class. She then mentioned that if she didn’t log in she would have her mother in trouble with Truancy. Thus, people on TikTok began using the sound from that video in their own videos to signify the urge to divert focus on important things instead of non-important things.
My sister keeps asking me if she should go back to her ex. I told her “You gotta get on your Zoom and stop going back to that toxic mess.”

I don’t want to go to work today but let me go ahead and get on my Zoom.

You got to get on your Zoom and start getting serious about your workouts.

get on the trolley 

To be "with the group" or to "be cool" as determined by your peers. The "trolley" would be something one would want to be on.

One may also want to make it a point of saying that someone is not on the trolley, instead of just saying that they should get on it. This implies that the person is so uncool that they cannot even try and be cool.

Another popular use is pointing out that a particular member of your friends circle is on the trolley in an attempt to rub it in the face of the person who isn't.

This phrase is usually used in a ribbing manner towards friends.
(After making a faux pas, doing something the group would consider uncool, etc) Come on Jason, get on the trolley.

Adam is definitely not on the trolley.

See Ryan? Now, Austin is on the trolley.
