A fart comes before the storm

A phrase dating back to ancient times and used by many cultures, meaning that one often releases a fart before pooping. Most frequently used as a warning to young children who still sometimes poop in their pants.

Ancient Mayan child: *farts*
Ancient Mayan father: “Son, heed this papyrus. It was left by our ancestors to warn us that a fart comes before the storm. You must seek a toilet before it is too late.”
Ancient Mayan child: *doesn’t listen; shits his pants*

Pilgrim child: *farts*
Pilgrim mother: “As the good lord has taught us, child, a fart comes before the storm. You must seek out a toilet before you soil your pantaloons.”
Pilgrim child: *doesn’t listen; shits his pants*

Modern child: *farts*
Modern father: “Seek out and sit upon thy toilet, young one, lest ye fill your britches with turd of brown. For as the Bard once wrote, a fart cometh before thy storm.”
Modern mother: “You’re gonna make him weird if you keep talking to him like that.”
Modern child: *exits the room to find a toilet* “Just kidding!” *doesn’t listen; shits his pants*

A Nightmare Before Christmas

Fantastic movie but incredibly overmarketed particularly to fake wannabe goths who have most likely never even seen the movie in the first place. They just like the imagery surrounding it. If they had actually seen the movie they would know that despite the gothic overtone it's actually a really sweet feel-good film.

Idiot goth kid: Hurr durrrrrrr NiGhTmArE bEfOrE cHrIsTmAs Is My LiFe. LoOk At My TeE sHiRt.
Real fan: Oh yeah looks good I love Jack Skellington.
Idiot goth kid: Hurr durrrrrr WhO iS tHaT
Real fan: You wear a Nightmare Before Christmas shirt but you don't even know the character on your shirt?!
Idiot goth kid: .....
Real fan: That's Jack Skellington you idiot he's the main character in the movie!
Idiot goth kid: Hurrrrr durrrr LeAvE mE aLoNe YoU'rE sO mEaN.

We got X before GTA 6

When something highly unusual and unexpected somehow happens before the hotly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6.

The expression plays on consumers’ frustration with the video game’s drawn-out development by comparing it with random, goofy stuff that managed to “drop” before it.

We got Dream whimpering audio before GTA 6

Putting the Cult before the compound

Doing things out of order - prioritizing the wrong aspect of a project or equation. A variation of “putting the cart before the horse”.

Max was really putting the cult before the compound when he bought a new suit to wear at my wedding before I even invited him.

Jimmy really put the cult before the compound when he bought a German Shepard with huge balls that pisses inside before he bought a house with a yard.
