But then I took an arrow to the knee

Guy: I was going to, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

An arrow to the knee

An overused joke/reference to Skyrim. It goes by: "I used to do/be/have/etc. a <whatever you used to do/be/have/etc>, but then I took an arrow to the knee."

Most of the time, it it completely unrelated and makes you look like an idiot.

1. I used to have a house, but I took an arrow to the knee.
2. I used to write "arrow to the knee jokes", but I took an arrow to the knee.

2. I used to have severe acne. Then I took an arrow to the knee.

Took an Arrow in the Knee

“I Took an Arrow in the Knee” is a catchphrase from the role-playing video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim which inspired the snowclone phrasal template “I used to X, then I took an arrow to the knee.”

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the town guard non-player characters (NPCs) repeated “I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.” when the player walks near them.

The restating of such a specific story over and over again by so many different guards caused it to be noticed by players, who then proceeded to post about it in gaming forums and image boards.

I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.

I used to give a fuck, then I took an arrow in the knee.

straight arrow

A person who doesn't use alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, or other drugs. Can also be used to refer to somebody who doesn't party, cuss, stay out late, or engage in other risky activities.

That dude is such a straight arrow; all he does is drink water and read the Bible.

white arrow

A steady laser shot of cum blasted on a chick's face

I pulled out just in time to give her the white arrow right in the eye.
