NoBlo

Toronto has a North-South-East-West street grid. Traditionally, the hip and happening downtown stretches from the lake all the way up Bloor, and North of Bloor (NoBlo) begins the sterile suburban zombie wasteland.

This is not necessarily an accurate view, as the pre-amalgamation City of Toronto had respectable density as well as similar urban culture for another 8km north to York Mills. The modern city of Toronto spans 18km from the lake to Steeles Ave.

The downtown stretch from the lake to Bloor St is 3km.

Amy: I haven't been in the NoBlo in five years.

Thaddea: Why can't all the NoBlo party kids leave their SUV tanks at home when they come down?

Zachariah: Those suburbanites from the NoBlo vote wrong in every election.

Everything is simply a shape, a form, an identifier to let others recognize me as me! But then, what am I? Is this me? My true self? My fake self? What is it that I am? Nobody understands me! 

Don't quote this in therapy you filthy shinnie.

you know how Shinji Ikari once said: "Everything is simply a shape, a form, an identifier to let others recognize me as me! But then, what am I? Is this me? My true self? My fake self? What is it that I am? Nobody understands me!" yeah, I relate to that.

Noble idiot 

A person who 'sacrifices' their own happiness with the assumption that they are bringing happiness to the person they are sacrificing for, when in fact, this sacrifice makes the other person even more unhappy.

Prime Minister: I'm in a contract marriage with you and now you're telling me that my real missing and presumed dead wife is really alive?
I: Yes. So I'm going to leave you even though we've decided we actually love each other and want to marry for real now.
Prime Minister: But I don't want my old wife back. She pretended to be dead so I hate her now. But I love you, you noble idiot.
I: Tough. I'm gonna travel the world and write a kids book. Get back with your old wife.
*Prime Minister proceeds to not get back with old wife because he hates her while I mopes because she's depressed she left the Prime Minister*

NOBLETIGER 

Baseball acronym: No-Outs Bases-Loaded-Ending (with) Team-Incapable (of) Getting-Easy-Run.

With the bases loaded and not outs even a mediocre team can trade outs for runs (e.g. sacrifice fly-outs and bunts). A team that fails at this fundamental level has committed NOBLETIGER and brought humiliation upon themselves, their families, fans, city and nation.

For non-baseball fans the situation is equivalent to having erectile dysfunction at an all you can eat brothel.

"LMAO, the Giants pulled a NOBLETIGER in the 9th inning against Kenley Jansen! They should be relegated to AAA"

nobody here but us chickens

1) a sarcastic answer implying "who else would be here?" or "just the regular crowd"

2) could be used to hide someone there who should not be

source: originally from a fable involving a chicken thief (possibly a fox) hiding in the hen house and answering the farmer's question of who's making all the noise.

Also made popular by a 40's song of the same name by Louis Jordan.

Dad (coming home from work): Anybody home?
Older Daughter (in bedroom): Nobody here but us chickens! (implying herself and her sister, but is actually herself and her boyfriend, who should have gone home already)

ross noble 

An English stand-up comedian, known for his often improvised sets, based almost entirely around audience members he has conversations with. Originally from Cramlington in Northumberland, he now resides in Australia with wife Fran.

It's difficult to give examples of ross noble, because his style is incredibly physical, but some memorable quotes include:

"How come Miss Universe is only won by people from Earth?"
"Tonight's show is sponsored by Ted Danson's Pizza shack!"
"It's christopher Reeves the Musical!"
*on reading a fortune cookie* "And I was feeling a bit cheeky, so I went 'ooh, it say's 'You have AIDS' ' "
