when two people argue for so long about their plans to hang out that by the time they're done, they've actually just hung out.
Emmett: "Hey, you do anything fun yesterday?"
Derek: "Not exactly. My coworker and I spent an hour deciding whether to go bowling or see a movie. We were so satisfied with the meta-hangout that we just went home."

The decompressing burp that occurs after one eats, smokes, or drinks too much. Relieves the impending sense of vomit and nausea.
"Dude, I think I might have to throw up, I knew I- *burps* Oh there's the meta burp, whose trying to smoke again?"

When something is meta-irony or you're unable to tell if it's ironic or sincere.
4chan is incredibly meta-ironic, they claim that everything they say is a joke, but everyone knows they've radicalized people to committing hate crimes and race motivated killing. They might start out joking but eventually many of them end up believing everything they say and it becomes post-irony. However, some of the things that are said are so delusional you're not sure anyone believes them, so we can't tell if they're being ironic or sincere.

Meta, just like metadata, or >background< data.
Life as in actual life.

Meta-life can be the process of looking at life in specific regards to seeing what is going on at any one time, without the persons involved's viewpoints.

Metalife can be used in multiple situations and can be really helpful when trying to discuss things you want to keep viewpoints out of. A synonym phrase would be 'down to earth talk'.
Okay. Let's meta-life for a second. We probably see this situation as problematic because we are angry right now.

Someone who enforces the "meta" of a multiplayer competitive game so heavily that it encroaches on others' enjoyment of the game. Meta Knights are easily angered if the team's plans do not align with their own, and are prone to bursts of rage upon the slightest deviation.

Named after the stalwart Meta Knight from the Kirby series.
Person 1: "Switch off (person)! We don't need another fucking (person)!
Person 2: "Dude, stop being such a Meta Knight, I'm just dicking around!"

When there is a set of competing strategies in a game, its meta (plural), any approach that is competitive but not mainstream is 'off-meta'.
DayNine playing MTG: "That's like the first off-meta deck I've been up against in quite some time."
Also DayNine in the same match: "Flork. Flerk."
