take a number

Used to tell someone to wait their turn for something, such as to speak with a person or to ask a person for something. Taken from the system of hospitals and pharmacies of taking a piece of paper with a number on it from a big red roll and waiting for your number to come up on the screen. When your number came up, you were served.

Take a number, honey, I'm way too busy right now.

Number 71

Something which takes an unbearably long time to happen. Specially used in cases where the said something used to happen on a regular basis.

Inspired by Indian Cricketer Virat Kohli's drought of centuries after his 70th international ton.

Steve: Dude, do you have any idea why Joe isn't texting me nowadays? We used to talk all the time!

Kane: I think he's pulling a Number 71 on ya.

we're number one

we're number one was claimed to be the best thing that happened in 2016, for good reason to, people made random shitposts editing and remixing the song "We're Number One" from the old show Lazy-town. generally every time the character Robbie and his clones say the word "one" the video changes in some way. This meme has evolved and taken other forms such as "Let It Grow" and "Bee Movie".

besides most memes happening for no reason, this meme was made cause the actor for the villan Robbie from the show was diagnosed with cancer and needed funding, as a reward, Stephan Stephenson, the actor, brought the people who were in the song back together , and re did the song live.

"we're number one but every "one" increases the bass by 5% each time"
