took an arrow to the knee

"Took an arrow to the knee" is a popular internet meme derived from the video game "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim".

In the game, different characters in the game will say, "I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the knee". To parody this the meme has taken the format, "I used to X, then I took an arrow to the knee".

This meme is usually found in the comment sections of various websites and is expressed with facetious intent.
I used to not know what this meme meant, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

avro arrow

The James Dean of the aircraft world -- "Live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse". Considering that only 5 were ever flown, the Arrow has generated more books, articles, documentaries and controversy than many aircraft produced by the thousands. Virtually a secular religion to a vast array of Canadian conspiracy theorists who are convinced that the *evil Americans* were responsible for its demise.
The Avro Arrow was a Canadian interceptor aircraft from the late 1950s that never went into production.
