Your Princess is in Another Castle

Similar to these aren't the droids you're looking for, Your Princess is in Another Castle is a phrase used to tell someone they're looking in the wrong place or otherwise barking up the wrong tree, often used sarcastically.

The phrase refers to a cutscene in the original Super Mario Bros. game which became a well-known gaming meme, seen at the end of every castle save for the final castle in World-8: A Toad would be waiting for you in the room immediately after the boss fight with Bowser and say, "Thank you, Mario! But our Princess is in another castle." This became increasingly frustrating, since, this being a classic Nintendo hard game, the difficulty spiked dramatically between each castle, and reaching the next one, let alone beating it, always required an even more ridiculous amount of skill.
Bob: Joe, have you seen Vanessa? She stole my car and my wallet this morning, after I brought her home from that party at your place last night.
Joe: Sorry, man, but your princess is in another castle. I haven't seen her since last night, either. I dunno what to tell you, except call the cops.

apothisexual

Apothisexual is someone who identifies as asexual and is sex repulsed
Furthermore apothisexuality comes from the Greek “apothisan” meaning repulsed. Just another word for “sex-repulsed asexual” because that can be a mouthful.
-Hey bro! I was wondering do you know what's the difference between an Asexual and an Apothisexual?

-Apothiseaxuals just find sex more unappealing and disgusting than Asexual do and that's all I know sorry. So what have you been up to man?

apathy kun

reference to the very sad and tragic fan fiction of Bokuto Koutarou and Akaashi Keiji, In Another Life, by LittleLuxray on AO3. Bokuto does not know Akaashi's name at the start, so he calls him "Apathy Kun" instead.

in other words, if you mention this to someone who's read the fic, please do expect to be hit with a shovel.
A: hey, who is Apathy Kun?

B, trying not to cry: Oh, it's Bokuto

Brother From Another Mother

A term used to describe a good friend that you have known almost your whole life. The word "brother" is used because the friend is extremely close to you to the point that he is almost like your brother--but from a different mother. And that rhymes. And you know that rhymes. Admit it!
