Get the douched out mug.A master is out is an interesting meme which is actually two different memes depending on what side of the Pacific you're on.
The American "master is out"
I guess I have to explain this one first even though it only makes sense after you read the second section. When 4chan was first started, a Japanese user of Futaba's /b/ tried to introduce the immensely funny "a master is out" meme to 4chan's fledgling userbase. Unfortunately, he had no knowledge of English, and only a machine translator to attempt to get the message across. So, the phrase which could probably be best rendered either "Where did my master go?" or "The dog is roaming around" was transmogrified into "a master is out." This meme was probably only posted once by the Japanese guy; 2003 was a time when any nonsense that landed in /b/ became instant comedy which had to immediately be repeated across all boards. "A master is out" had a long shelf-life because the dog image that accompanied it was cute and silly, but the intended meaning was lost before it even got off the ground.
The Japanese "master is out"
I have a single, unconfirmed report that when this image is posted on Futaba's /b/, it is a signal for "Roll Call!" and immediately everyone posts a reply with images of famous anime characters claiming to be the dog's master. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure whether this is actually true. I do know that Futaba loves shiba inu (the breed of dog pictured here) deeply so this might be a sort of lolcats image mainly known for how frequently it's reposted. One thing's for sure, the phrase "a master is out" has actual semantic meaning on the Japanese side of the ocean.

Get the Smangaring Out mug.When you spot someone really attractive and make excuses to pass by them (multiple times) in hopes they might notice you.
I saw you walk past the same part of the caf today twice! Who are you spotting out?!
"Why does Katie keep leaving the table??
"Oh she just forgot napkins first, then she wanted coffee, and then she forgot a straw so she's left a few times."
"Ohhhhh C'mon, she doesn't really need those things, she's just spotting someone out."
