you did a melvin

In the years leading up to 2022, Melvin Capital made bets against key stocks within the USA stock market, after retail investors noticed inconsistencies with the stock, specifically the huge short position that Hedge Funds (including Melvin Capital) had accrued. Retail traders realized that these positions would at some stage need to be bought back so they independently decided to buy up the stock.

Melvin Capital essentially went bankrupt due to some very poor decision making and lack of proper risk management.

The phrase "you did a melvin" was coined in 2022 to indicate that your lost money, or made bad decisions which affected you negatively.

you did what needed to be done

The ultimate compliment which can be bestowed. Most appropriately used when serving looks to legendary children. Popularized by the television series Legendary and used liberally among YouTubers Peter Monn and Munoz (kinda).
Pam: Honey, that look is a ten out of ten.

Did you pray today?

The phrase that will give you PTSD.

If you hear 'Did you pray today?' whether it'd be in the distance or behind you, you will be in a world of eternal torment, and not the good type. Here are some primary examples of the phrase:

Whether you are in a dark room and you hear 'Did you pray today?' (If you're lucky, you'll hear it only one time, but if you hear it TWO times Did you pray today? Did you pray today? that means they'll go all in.

Some say that this phrase comes from @justjoofficial, a terrifying individual that is not afraid to dick you down on some gangster shit.

Justjoofficial is a level 5 threat, and you by any means, must NOT come in contact with him.

Here is a way to PREVENT him from coming after you, but it won't fully stop him. Consider praying when you wake up in the morning, and when you go to bed. You can hear 'Did you pray today' in any point and time, so praying is our best bet.
Guy 1: Hey, did you hear about the new Nintendo Direct? It's pretty fir- Wait... OH MY GOD BEHIND YOU!

Guy 2: Wha-?

Justjoofficial: Did you pray today? Did you pray today? Cause if you didn't. . .
