One of the most funny but overused video game quotes ever! Originating from the smash hit skyrim by Bethesda, there is a single guard that states "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee!". This guard cannot adventure any longer because in medieval times, the difficult techniques required to fix a shattered kneecap did not exist. This is assuming it was a barbed arrow shot my a medieval bow, which was common practice then, it would have had to be pushed all the way through his knee because those arrows were triangle shaped and could only go one way without permanently ruining his knee. So he could no longer adventure. There is a game theory video detailing it further.
In game: "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee!"
As meme:"I used to be an/a _________, but then I took an arrow to da knee!"

Basically accepting the negative with the positive - it doesn't take a fucken genius to figure that one out.
wasn't all negative - took the good with the bad.

Something people say when they say something they regret, and use this as a means to play it off as to not take the blame for what they said, usually unsuccessfully
Person 1: “Hey I’ve really liked l you for a few years, do you like me?”
Person 2: “Sorry I’m just not interested
Person 1: “ Sorry My Friend Took My Phone and sent that, I didn’t mean that, it wasn’t me”
Person 2: “Sorry I’m just not interested
Person 1: “ Sorry My Friend Took My Phone and sent that, I didn’t mean that, it wasn’t me”

Interesting! You get this word by combining the past tense of the verb “take” with the ing form, i.e. “taking.”
