Example 1: The family mentioned to the village elder that they needed money to send their son away to school. So a festival was held at which the elder stood on a chair shouting "Harambe!" and asking for donations on their behalf.

Example 2: In the last hour of the work day the employees in charge of labeling got a new order needed by the next day. To help them out the boss gathered employees from other areas to work together so everyone could go home on time. As he pitched in to help as well he called out "Harambe!" in an effort to inspire team spirit.

Harambee is love Harambee is life.....

Harambee 

Verb ha-raam-buttfuck-bee

1. Gang Rape
2. To bond with friends over repeated unprotected sex with a stripper you paid too little.
3. A girl getting it in every orifice while giving a blumpkin.

Comes from the greek origins "harem please" which literally translated means that several men being pleasure by a muslim woman.

Now it is often confused because Kenya is trying to use it as their country motto causing many men to be disappointed when finding out they will not be getting laid.
Sometimes when it gets rough you gotta just put your head down and keep pounding away. Harambee!

I want you guys to go out there give it everything and just compete. Harambee on 3.

I can't wait to Harambee the shit out of that girl.

Harambe's Law

"You are a racist/sexist/xenophobe/homophobe/abelist" is code for "you are winning this argument, and I hate you for that."

The first person in a discussion to call someone Racist, Sexist, Xenophobic, Homophobic or another pejorative term is deemed to have automatically lost the discussion because they have admitted they have no facts or logic to support their position, and thus resort to name-calling to silence further embarrassment.
"I voted against Hillary because she is a greedy, ambitious, government drone."

"You're racist for supporting Trump!"

"Harambe's Law prevails. YOU GET NOTHING. YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY, SIR!"

Harambetard 

An internet retard who, for some unknown psychological defect, is unable to get over the entire "child falls into gorilla's enclosure and the gorilla gets shot in the end" incident. Harambetards are usually seen endlessly posting about insanely unfunny "dank memes" involving some retarded line about Harambe the gorilla. People in their right mind are advised to stay away from harambetards as much as possible, as their retardation is probably contagious.
Guy A: Hey, check out my new harambe post! It's so funny Ima shit myself laughing. Huehue!
Guy B: Will you just stay the fuck away from me? I don't want any harambetards around. Do your troll shit elswhere, you retardo!

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
