In before the Brockway

Meaning to beat someone to the punch. This is especially true in the comments thread of a Full Metal Alchemist post, and most specifically in response to a Nina Tucker meme.

Op: *posts Nina Tucker meme
Tavern members: In before the Brockway!
Brockway: These jokes never get old, just like Nina!

Don't judge before you know

This is something most people should learn. Stop judging and saying what people are and aren't if you don't know them, if you don't live their lives. Only them know the reality.

Person 1: Look at this fool, he look like a buster!
Person 2: Maan, don't judge before you know

counting my monkeys before they're out of the trees

Assuming you will have something before you actually have it; similar to "counting your chickens before they hatch" (which is commonly attributed to Aesop).

"The Mariners could do better than expected this year."

"Let's not kid ourselves. Check your premises before you make a prediction."

"I'm assuming a number of things go right. Maybe I'm just counting my monkeys before they're out of the trees."

Quests before Breasts

The preference of videogames, boardgames, or any sort of virginity-prolonging entertainment over females.
Used in a similar (although far sadder) fashion to "bros before hoes."

Guy 1 : Hey, do you wanna come to the wicked party a couple blocks away this evening? There are gonna be a lot of cute girls over there.

Guy 2: Nah, I wanna get my dwarven paladin Alvannor to level 80 tonight. Quests before breasts!

Guy 1: Uhh.....alright.
