My uncle works at Nintendo

"My uncle works at Nintendo" is a facetious statement which is often jokingly used to spread false insider information about Nintendo and its upcoming projects.

People try to get others to believe that they have received insider information from their uncle who supposedly works at the video game company.

The lie is so well known that in internet culture, it has become a joke way for people to signal that any information they're about to say will be false.

.exe has stopped working

Usually when someone is very confused in a text conversation they would send a meme that reads out: “___.exe has stopped working” This originated from a Windows pop-up message if a window takes too long to respond.

God works in mysterious ways

An ad hoc hypothesis thrown up by Christians when confronted with intractable contradiction in their absurd belief system. It is nothing more than a veiled confession of ignorance from someone who will say anything rather than question or confront their beliefs. When arguing with a believer, hearing this usually means you've won the debate.
"How can an all-loving god condemn so many people to eternal torment in hell?"
"Simple, god gave us a choice to either accept him or reject him."
"But if God cares so much about us, then why does he need to coerce our devotion with the threat of torture? So why doesn't God reveal himself and warn us about it? Why doesn't he set the non-believers straight? Is our having faith so important to him that he's willing to let millions of people be condemned?"
"Uh...God works in mysterious ways!"
