a sarcastic way to complain about the video advertisements you have to watch before certain streaming videos a la online news, hulu, etc. incidentally also a tongue-in-cheek jab at the old myspace practice of saying "thanks for the add" when a total stranger accepts your friend request.
I don't care about feminine hygiene, I just want to see the 'Dramatic Squirrel' video! Thanks for the ad...
When something is really obvious. This is due to the comments of Christie Malthouse on Channel Ten coverage during AFL matches. Commentators Tim Lane and Stephen Quartermain always seem to find out and commentate on things (injuries, conditions) before Christie gets to it. Hence when Christie is put on the camera around the boundary, she says something like "Fevola is injured" but infact the commentators in the box have already talked of this. The fact is following this comment by Malthouse; Quarters and Lane respond by saying "Thanks Christie."
A: "Hey mate look the sun is yellow"
B: "Thanks Christie"
A blank 'thank you' card sent anonymously to someone, particularly an employer or potential employer, who has treated you badly.
He opened the envelope and found a thank you card, but there was nothing written in it or on it. Completely blank. The envelope had no return address. What did this mean and who sent it to him? Was it a mistake? Hmmm?
This man received a 'thanks for nothing card' or TFN card.
