dere-dey-were 

A phrase from the east coast; literally "there they were". Used to confirm the presence of something sometimes indicating surprise. Similar to stating "I went looking for Jen and Bob and found them standing right behind me" - "I was looking for Jen and Bob and dere-dey-were, behind me!"

I was lookin' for my glasses and dere-dey-were, plain-as-day, sittin' on me head.
I was out back and saw two moose, I turned to get my gun and whe I looed back dere-dey-were - gone!

As it were 

This is what unfortunate people add to their sentences when they are desperately trying to convince you that they are either telling the truth or are quite a bit smarter than reality.

Well, when I was last in Italy, we dined at a most excellent little place I found called Nicola's, as it were.

I didn't know you were Emo 

When in a state of utter failure or just feeling like crap, rubbing your hand across your wrist like your cutting it and as a joke someone anouncing that you are now emo.

Bob: *air cutting*
Bobby: "Geez, I didn't know you were emo!"

They were on a "straight date". 

Straigt date is when there are two of the same sex on a date together. And one of which is is gay. The other is usually not out of the closet hence they call it a "straight date".

Two guys, one 32 years old, the other 22 were out at the wine bar together. The older one made it very know to everyone in his vacinity that he was gay, and had "partners". The other one made references all night to a "girlfriend". But in the end they were two guys in a wine bar together and they were on a "straight date".
