Qantas'd 

When your flight is cancelled so you're moved to the next available flight (often to find that this flight also gets cancelled). This occurs so frequently that it simply becomes the accepted norm. Alternatively, the flight doesn't get "cancelled", it simply gets "delayed" - in some cases by 24 hours or more.
Man, it looks like we've been Qantas'd... again.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
