Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jaeger

A German phrase from the anime Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin. It is said at the beginning of the anime's theme song, and has become popular.

It translates to: They are the food (prey) and we are the hunters.
You are the prey = Du bist (singular) or Ihr seid (pl "y'all are) das Essen (undefined/non-specific/ "meal," may be incorrectly used in this case).
Person 1: Have you seen Attack on Titan?
Person 2: Oh yeah man, I love that anime!
Both (yelling loudly and in unison): SIE SIND DAS ESSEN UND WIR SIND DIE JAEGER!

Jaeger

In D&D or other TTRPG, when a player is absent, he or she allows another player to play their character.

It derives from the movie "Pacific Rim". Jaegers are the giant mech humans use to control.

- "Listen! I do not want anyone jaegering my character... at all!! You'll do it wrong."

Jaeger

To Jaeger, Jaegering or to be Jaegered is to have someone else pilot you through strong influence, coercion, or dominance. Often by a marital spouse, friend or colleague who is able to steer the actions of another or put words in the Jaegers mouth

1. The term was first used on the Critical Role Youtube series Campaign 1 - Vox Machina; by Travis Willingham, playing the character Grog, in response to his wife and game partner Laura Bailey, Vex'ahlia, was giving Travis specific words and actions to play through his character in Meta. 'Don't Jaeger me' was Travis's response

2. Jaeger - from the German word meaning "Hunter" - in this setting was a reference to Pacific Rim (2013 movie), where giant robots called Jaegers are piloted by two (or three) mentally linked pilots and used to fight off aliens that enter our universe from a portal between 2 tectonic plates.

Their sexuality is usually hamburger, and they will never say stuff behind your back. They are the tallest in the friend groups, and the best at video games. They are extremely attractive, and loyal.

Sirius the Jaeger

A total bait and switch of an anime. It wasn't bad... But it's heavily implied that the main character is some kind of werewolf... So... I watch the whole thing... Waiting for him to activate his werewolf-mode... And as I'm watching I think "Well, their probably going to save it for, like, the climactic final battle or something" and... I WAS RIGHT! That's EXACTLY what happened... BUT... He doesn't transform into a fucking werewolf! Like... At all! Now... I know what you're thinking... "How is it possible that you were right about them saving his werewolf-mode for the climactic finale if he doesn't turn into a werewolf? If he doesn't transform into a werewolf, you weren't right! You can't be right AND wrong! That violates the law of non-contradiction! I'm a fucking bible-nerd!" That's the mind-fuck! His werewolf-mode is, like, his eyes glowing or something but he doesn't actually become a werewolf in any way, shape, or form! So you're sitting there, like, watching this show and the whole time they're bludgeoning you with the insinuation that this guy both is and WILL TRANSFORM INTO A WEREWOLF and this motherfucker activates his fucking "mode" and he proceeds to not become a wolf-man hybrid type creature AT ALL! He just smells good... Or... Well. He smells well throughout the show. That's it! It's like that fucking french Sherlock Holmes-esque detective show were he fucking smells shit. God, why is everything like that french detective show now!?
Hym "I mean... It's almost worth watching Sirius the Jaeger just to see him NOT turn into a werewolf. It isn't bad by any means. It kind of drones-on towards the end of the series but you know what would have fixed that? A CLIMACTIC SHOWDOWN WITH THE MAIN VAMPIRE ANTAGONIST WHERE THE MAIN CHARACTER TURNS INTO A FUCKING WEREWOLF!!! By the time they get to the flashback his tragic backstory (which is about 60% of the way through the show) I'm sitting there like 'Ok... Now turn into a werewolf! Show his family, like, fighting off the vampires by turning into a werewolf! Yes, very sad, now transform into a werewolf!' And it just doesn't happen! And then it DOES HAPPEN! But it doesn't happen AT ALL! Like, not even a little bit! The didn't even bother to do a Supernatural, half-werewolf transformation! His eyes just glow or something or, like, it's heavily implied that he has activated his werewolf powers in, like, a new way that was out of his reach until the final showdown! His nails could have grown! ANYTHING could have happened! Even Inuyasha's nails grew! And he's just a dog man!"
