Well that happened

A phrase used when something random and/or inexplicable has occurred. Serves as both an invitation to discuss the recent incident or a way to cut off a possible conversation about the incident.

You witness your naked father being chased by your neighbor's dog. Suddenly he is hit by a car, leaving him sprawled in the intersection while the dog licks him.

You: "Well that happened."

Your Friend: "Yep."

That's what happens

A catchphrase used to rub one's success in an enemies' nose.

Pitcher: "I should have known better than to throw him a fast ball right down the middle of the plate."

Batter: " That's what happens !"

Make Fetch Happen

When someone tries to start a cultural trend that will never catch on.

My cousin always wears purple socks on Wednesday. He hopes that eventually other people will start doing it and he will become famous for creating the trend. Whenever I see him on Wednesday I say, "Jaime, stop trying to make fetch happen."

Happener

Modern hippy hipster types who actually accomplish tasks of great magnitude and worth. A happener, much like our modern definition of a hipster, does have certain interests in counter culture lifestyle and the various accouterments that go along with such. The marked difference between a hipster (being frankly the modern version of the hippie or renaissance person), is that happeners are always involved in some great events. Happeners are the hero's of the universe. May statues be built in their honor.

Did you see how intensely that woman back there was involved with her artwork, she was a total happener.
