A 4chan meme which started on /v/. Since /v/ is ostensibly a work-safe board, people assume it's completely safe to browse the board at work (hence the name). One day, someone posted a NSFW image, and one person posted "My boss walked by when I had the image open at work, and I got fired." Someone responded "I got promoted," implying he was promoted to replace the first guy. Soon after, when someone posted another work-unsafe image, one person responded "PROMOTIONS!"
People unfamiliar with the phrase's origins believed it to be wholly ironic, and thought it was so hilarious they repeated it whenever work-unsafe material finds its way onto the board, and then it became a true meme.
It should NOT be assumed that bosses like to see their workers watch porn at work.

Get the pokemotions mug.The raising of one's status as a result of crossing a literal, or figurative, border to an area where one is of higher relative status than where they came form.
This can be done by moving to an area where one's race or nationality automatically makes them elite, and/or moving to an area where one's financial means are much higher than the median as compared to where one is moving from.
This "move" does not have to be a physical move...it can be a social move. This is best evidenced by a loser white guy going after minority women to get a hot one (e.g. mail-order brides). Likewise, any decent looking white woman can always secure herself a wealthy husband if she is willing to hook up with a successful black guy or an Asian guy.

When the Smiths retired and moved to Mexico, they got a border promotion and were able to live in a much nicer house.
That piece of white trash couldn't get a decent-looking white girl to save his life, but once he went down the mail-order bride route, he got a really hot wife due to the border promotion.
