The dumbest most annoying figure of speech ever invented, commonly used in comment threads on social media because if the person typing it heard how incredibly fucking stupid it sounded when spoken aloud they would remove it from their vocabulary permanently. Some even include the word “several” to maximize the level of disgrace this phrase brings to the English language.
Look at this thing I don’t like on social media, I think I’ll comment with “yikes on bikes” so that everyone who reads this thread will know that I’m the lamest asshole on the entire internet
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.

Short-hand for the word floccinaucinihilipilification, meaning the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language).
