Saved that starfish

A phrase used when one solves a minute problem.

It is particularly useful when others in close proximity are unnecessarily stressed over the aforementioned bother.
A professor is giving a lecture with a PowerPoint. One slide has a minor typo and the entire class becomes disgruntled. Annoyed by the complaining students, and his embarrassing blunder, the professor edits the PowerPoint and mutters, “whew, we saved that starfish.”

Save the World Syndrome

A strange phenomenon experienced by several games from 2017-present where the original game is surpassed in popularity by a battle royale spin-off or gamemode occurring in the same game or universe. The name 'Save the World Syndrome' comes from Fortnite: Save the World, a PvE shooter created by Epic Games. The developers introduced a new mode called 'Battle Royale' which quickly replaced the core game.

Save a Prayer

You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go

Don't save a prayer for me now

Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now

Save it til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside look you down into the well
If you can you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance like all dreamers can't find another way
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after

Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise
Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after (doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after

I did it... I saved the town.

A common meme in the Gravity Falls fandom, referencing a suggestive animatic by MangoPablo featuring characters Bill Cipher and Ford Pines.

The paining had a massive spike of popularity in July 2024 with the release of Gravity Falls book titled 'The Book of Bill', which includes material hinting that the two were possibly in a relationship before their "breakup" (although it is debated wether this is just a satirical device).

The transcript is as follows:

I'm going to destroy all of Gravity Falls!

No, fuck you, Bill.
Well actually, don't mind if you do! Hahahaha!
Wait, what?
You heard right. If you do it, I won't destroy the town!
I'll do everything to stop you.
Perfect, so do we have a deal?
Deal!
...
Shirtless, looking out the Penthouse Suite window I did it... I saved the town.

The Billford animation became infamous among the Gravity Falls fandom who posted memes about it on various sites, centering on Pines' final quote.
"I did it... I saved the town."
"What?"
