It’s 10 PM; do you know where your children are? — This was a regional program bumper / public service announcement from the late 1960’s through to the late 1980’s. In some regions, there was an 11 PM variant. This was sometimes the lead in to news programs. But best of all, it was NIGHTMARE FUEL for some of the best childhood ghost stories and URBAN MYTHS that kept a kid awake at night after scary stories were inappropriately told to them by mischievous baby sitters.
No mommy, this never happened to me…honest!!!!!!! Nor, was I ever the perpetrator of telling such a tale.
…And then while the mom was watching t.v., a man came on the screen and said, “It’s 10 PM; do you know where your children are?”. A shiver went down the mother’s spine so she went to check on her kids. When she opens the door there was a man standing over her children's dead bodies holding a bloody butcher knife. AND HE WAS WEARING A BUNNY SUIT…
Example #1
Wife: "Where are you going?"
Husband: "I'm gonna go have some drinks with the guys... but it's for the children!"

Example #2
Government of the US: "We will be censoring the internet and suppressing your freedom of speech... but it's for the children!"
The most dangerous words in the English language. Often spouted by single-minded individuals with (seemingly) good intentions to persuade people to curtail any given liberty instead of assume personal responsibility.
The government needs to ban all the porn from the Internet, so we don't actually have to get involved and explain our personal morality to our offspring! Please! Think of the children!
Call of duty. A place for inmature brats who think they are experts on weapons/tachticians/hackers, only know how to say fag and cry over losing. One of the worst gaming communities alomg with League of Legends...
You: you mean the Children's Online Daycare?! only if we play offline.
Your friend: yeah I'm tired of those kindergarteners online!
You: How about we play some good halo or starwars battle front? Or pokemon? Anything else is better! Heck even checkers sounds better!
Your friend: CHECKERS?! I'LL BRING THE TREES!
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
Short-hand for the word floccinaucinihilipilification, meaning the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language).
