Get the cool arrow mug.by AlrightyThen0852 February 18, 2020
Get the Gray Arrow Check mug.“I Took an Arrow in the Knee” is a memorable quote originating from the role-playing video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. An often repeated stock line throughout the game, it went on to inspire the snowclone “I used to X, then I took an arrow to the knee.”
Largely owing to the positive reception of Skyrim, “I Took An Arrow To The Knee” eventually became perceived as a hyper-saturated cliche, similar to “The Cake Is A Lie” from the puzzle action game Portal. In response to the indiscriminate usage of the phrase, some fans of the game began posting satirical animations and image macros criticizing its hackneyed nature.
It is also argued that Taking an arrow in the knee is a Nordic saying meaning "Getting married." Thus, "I used to be an adventurer like you...then I took an arrow in the knee," actually means that getting married ended his adventuring career.

Get the arrow in the knee mug.A group of people stand in a circle. One of them fires an arrow upward into the air. Whoever stays in the circle the longest is the winner.
This is a dangerous game because the arrow could fall and hit the winner, or go out of control and hit one of the people who bailed.
