erstwhile

"Former," "previous," "ex-"

Erstwhile works a lot like "ex," except it's an adjective instead of a prefix, much more formal and a little old-fashioned. Not everyone knows what it means. Lots of people slip it into sentences because it sounds fancy and makes them feel like they're from the 1890s.

My erstwhile and estimable business partner will be joining us for lunch."

"Wait, you guys aren't working together anymore?"

"What? No, we still are."

"Then why'd you say 'erstwhile'?"

"Because he went to Harvard, man! It doesn't get more erstwhile than that!"

"That's not what that word means, dude."

"Don't say 'dude.' It'll make you sound uneducated."

Yeah, some girl gave him some head when he was in college, but he's been living with his mother for the last 15 years. He's not really a virgin, but he's an erstwhile virgin.

Erstine

A girl that is holy, kind, cute and helpful at times you need her. Guys will fall for her good deeds and cuteness overload. But an Erstine only attracted to men who are lonely and dark since she'll fill the gap in his heart and be part of him.

That girl you talked to, she's such an Erstine, isn't she?

Ich freu mich an erster Stelle einfach für Mehmet

A german phrase, well known by the Streamer "MontanaBlack88".
It's used in a conversation as a random reply when someone is about to show off something they are proud of.
It could also express your indifference of someones question or statement in a ironic way.

Example 1:
Person A: Wow, ey, I scored a triple Nuclear last round!
Person B: Nice, ich freu mich an erster Stelle einfach für Mehmet.

Example 2:
Person A: Wow dude, I had great sex last night.
Person B: aha, ich freu mich an erster Stelle einfach für Mehmet...
