They Took Our Jobs! 

As seen in South Park when people from the future came and took their jobs for less
Darryl Weathers: All right! So, any ideas how we can stop the future from happening? pause
Chet: How about we cause more global warming, so that in the future, the polar ice caps melt, and and it ushers in a new ice age?

Darryl Weathers: pause How the hell is global warming gonna cause an ice age?!

Chet: Well you know, the... global warming could bring on like a climate shift or somethin'?

Darryl Weathers: Chet, you are a f***in' retard, you know that?! Even if global warming were real, which all proven scientific data shows it isn't, it would take millions of years for a climate shift to happen! You think an ice age can just happen all of a sudden-like?

Chet: Well I was just tryin' to be helpful.

Darryl Weathers: Well help yourself to a f***in' science book, 'cause you're talkin' like a f***in' retard! Now, come on people, we've got to think! Damnit, they took our jaorbs!

They Took Our Jobs! 

A phrase coined by South Park, used when the "Goobacks," time immigrants from the future take the citizens of South Park's jobs by working for next to nothing.
"Let me show you to the coffee room, Mr. Glurrk."

Randy Marsh: (gasp) "They took my JOB!"

Stan Marsh: "They took yer job!"

-------------------------------

"Alright everyone, back to the pile."

"Back to the pile everyone, c'mon"

"Back to the pile!"

"Durk our durrr!"

they took our jobs 

Can only be pronouced 'dey tk oor jerbs', and is usually said in a high pitched wail. Is the main argument against immigrants coming into countries, and is the slogan of many workers unions. Many people say "They are taking our jobs" or "We are losing our jobs", but the grammatically correct way to say it is: 'dey tk oor jerbs' or in writing: 'they took our jobs'
"I think we should allow immigrants into the country, they will benefit the economy"

"bt dey tk oor jobs.

"Yeh, they took our jobs"

"That's not how to say it!"

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
