I'm 13 years old and what is this? 

Another less funnier variation of the meme I'm 12 years old and what is this?

Said in forums that restricts the registration of people below 13. If you put the original version of the meme, which is: I'm 12 years old and what is this? Mods might think that you're ACTUALLY 12 years old and ban you because they're dumbass pricks, or just have a reason to ban you for the lulz.
Person 1: "I'm 12 years old and what is this?"

Dumbass Mod: "You're 12 years old? This forum is for ages 13 and up! *Bans Person 1*"

Another day:

Person 2: "I'm 12 years old and what is this?"

Dumbass Mod: O rly? I know that's a meme, but you piss me off and I have a reason to ban you. *Bans for the lulz*"

Yet another day:

Person 3: "I'm 13 years old and what is this?"

Dumbass mod: I thought the meme was "I'm 12 years old and what is this." What the fuck is going on?"

I am 12 and what is this? 

A phrase used to indicate that the user finds someone else's comment, picture or video to be inappropriate or otherwise NSFW.

Rarely used to indicate any actual offense; rather, it's almost always presented as humor or sarcasm, or by trolls trying to stir the pot. Most people tend to report any actual terms of service violations, rather than simply commenting.

Almost never used by actual 12-year-olds, who are technically too young to be on most social media sites anyway.
Person A: *posts a meme featuring daVinci's Venus de Milo*

Person B: I am 12 and what is this?

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

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.
