We are the 99%!

"We are the 99%!" is a phrase that was coined by someone in and during the "Occupy Wallstreet" movement. It spread by word of mouth and through the media, including a parody by South Park. It refers to living in poverty or "being part of the common man", as most of the wealth is in the 1%. It is used as a political slogan, internet meme, and in a comedic way.
"Our whole family used to have jobs. Now we don't have any. We are the 99%!."

"Fuck the man! The system is unfair. We are the 99%!"

"I stole this fifth, you know why? Because I am the 99%!"

We are the Quiet Ones

"We are the Quiet Ones" is a tattoo that One Direction member Liam Payne got around 2016-2017. Ziamie's believes that Liam got this tattoo in honor of Zayn and his relationship. On more than one occasion, he refers to them as "the quiet ones" stating that he and Zayn have always been the shyest and quietest of the group. (At the start)

"Me and Zayn were actually really QUIET when we came into the band but now you can't shut us up!" - Liam Payne in the German-Swiss interview in 2012. (2-3 days after the iTunes festival, where they were rumored to have become official>)
Me: Did you see that new tattoo Liam got? It's sick!
(Y/N): He got a new tattoo? What is it?
Me: The words "We are The Quiet Ones." And guess what?
(Y/N): What?
Me: Ziam's real. He totally got it for Zayn.

We Are The Fury

A mix of Panic! at the disco and Fall out boy
But has Gerard Ways whiney vocals
Basicly every emos dream band(if they dont cry every 5 seconds)
They look vintage so hence they look like Panic! at the disco
Music is pretty good but vocals are very very whiney
They can play live really really good
They have a habit of having lyrics that are in no way related to the title of the song hence Fall out boy
The lead singer sounds like Gerard on a little bit of helium
So like i said EVERY emos dream band
Emo=I went to Hot Topic today and i picked up this cd called 'We are the fury'
Person=Who?
Emo=Its an emo band you wouldent understand our complex music
Person=Whatever im going to get a soda

We are in the Beam

A phrase said by the narrator in the Watergate map in TF2. Usually said whilst in the beam. The creator of the map thought it was a good idea to use a Text-to-speech app and now it's a meme. TF2 players have taken it upon themselves to remix it and make it a hitsound in the game, so it now shares a similar fate to bonus ducks. Not to be mistaken with the enemy is in the beam.
Narrator: We are in the beam
