Working (Referring to the Queen of Kings) is in reference to the unique situation where a boss and two co-workers will not cooperate during a stage rehearsal. This trio would rather do a salute instead of getting back to blocking.
"You guys have no idea what Working (Referring to the Queen of Kings) means" she said as she collapsed in a puddle of tears.

object reference not set to an instance of an object

An error message that appears in object-oriented programming that makes literally no sense for people who are not extremely familiar with the standard terms in programming.
Person A: It says object reference not set to an instance of an object. WTF is this?
Person B: It just means the object you are trying to use doesn't exist!

Illiterary Reference

When you quote with confidence from a work of literature but get it horribly wrong.
I said to my wife, you know like in Moby Dick, “I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.” To which she responded, that’s from Little Women. Nice illiterary reference.

It'S jUsT a ReFeReNcE

That is not what happened and that's not what I was doing. I meet all the criteria and you do not and you are only doing this to make some point about but your counter-veiling fiction regarding what happened at the fucking group home.

Law's Theory of Chess References

Law's Theory of Chess References has two main points.

1. After a while, in any argument, debate or discussion, there will inevitably be a reference to a chess piece, chess tactic, chess master, or something Chess like.

“Control of the patent rights will signal checkmate to their actions against us.”

“You don’t have to be a chess master to understand how this simple pyramid scheme will make us all rich. Yes a check, make it out to cash, will be quite acceptable”

“ The Wrestler considered his suplex the best part of his end-game arsenal.”

Note: It is not a Chess reference if you refer to a disreputable rapscallion, as having a ‘Checkered past”

2. In any sporting event, no more than ten minutes into the start of any contest, one or several of the sportscasters will utter some variation of "It's a chess match, with these two coaches, every time they meet in competition."

Note in the final 2 minutes of any NBA or NCAA College Basketball game, any substitution of good rebounders, good outside shooters, taller defenders, versus best free throw percentage shooters, requires that one or more sports commentators speak these words:
"Yet another substitution, Yes, it has become a chess match, " and the Color Commentator again paid homage to Law's Theory of Chess References before the 3rd quarter.

Nazotoki reference

When a detective has only one arm, refers to a case as a riddle, or that detective plays/enjoys piano.

Based around the songs Nazotoki (Riddle Solving) and Nazokake by Hinata Haruhana, in which the character Len is a one-armed detective who played the piano.
Person A: “Yo man, didn’t the Shuichi dude from Danganronpa have a thing for that one piano lady?”
Person B: “A detective and a piano player? Combine the two, and that’s Nazotoki Len for you!”
Person A: “Damn, is that a Nazotoki reference or something?”

Reference-ception

When someone references something, and someone else replies by referencing the response to the thing the other person was referencing.
Matt, I am your father
No, that's impossible!
Did you just respond with a reference to the reference?
Yeah, reference-ception!
