Do your research

An aphorism intended to be used by any intellectual to tell someone to get to know their subject better before spreading outright BS.

Unfortunately, the phrase has more often than not been abused by internet trolls, zealots and narcissists as a hilariously hypocritical thought-terminating cliché. If used by trolls, they will go even further and link the same exact sources that you would have used against them, thereby deliberately angering you even more.

This phrase can also be used satirically, facetiously or sarcastically. In this case that is totally fine.
▼Correct/Benevolent usage▼
John: Eyy bro! Glad we could meet up at the mall. Wait, where's your mask?

Robbie: Eh I forgot it at home, but I figured I wouldn't get covid anyway cause I got the vaccine. Besides there's not many people here.
John: Bro wtf? Do you not know what the masks are really for? Please do your research man.

▼Incorrect/Malevolent Usage▼
Troll: I can't wait till that new Xperia phone comes out! I love that they are using a 144hz display.
User 1: Are you joking? It states everywhere that the display is 120hz, not 144hz.
Troll: Do your research bud. Clearly you must be trolling.
User 1: I did and you are wrong. Trolling?? LMFAO hypocrite.
Troll: *sends a link to Sony's website which blatantly states that the display is 120hz* Here's your proof bud, it says 144hz. How does it feel to be wrong?
User 2: Ugh somebody report this troll please.

▼Satirical/Facetious/Sarcastic Usage▼
Friend 1: Probably the most stupid vine I ever saw was that kid who kept saying 9+10=21.
Friend 2: What?! Are you telling me you don't know that 9+10=21?? Do your research girl! Haha.

Rosedale Heights

A arts school in Toronto, where everyone either believes they are the epitome of art by taking pointless photographs or wearing the most eccentric out of style clothing and making it look like they knew what it was when they saw it in value village. The majority of the students Partake in smoking marijuana or doing some sort of drug on the lines of pills and hallucinogens. The in crowd consists of Hipsters, wanna be G's, and easy girls or loud mouth hypocrites whom all believe they are the only one who have long in depth dreams and thoughts about life when everyone in the school has the same view point. Its a quite open atmosphere thanks to the fact almost everyone has made a ridiculous decision and cant judge.
Guy1 : Hey man last week i went to this awesome party and did some shrooms

Guy1 : Some Rosedale Heights dude he was pretty chill kept on telling me about how life could just be this big dream.
Guy2 : Typical.

Pete Townshend-style research

Viewing any kind of sexually stimulating material (not necessarily illegal or even explicit) on the internet. In common use in northern England, and possibly elsewhere, this expression originates from pop musician Pete Townshend's explanation of why he gave his credit card details to a website containing visual depictions of children being sexually abused - that he wished to view the material for research purposes. Although the implication of the term is that Townshend was lying he was, in fact, cleared of all charges.
Sorry I didn't answer the phone, I was doing some Pete Townshend-style research.
