Grounded Videos 

The so far most common and controversial type of videos on YouTube where a entity (usually user or fictional character) have misadventures in which he/she/they do something intentional and then get grounded for absurd amount of years by parents. The first video of this type, though not as the same formula of the videos nowadays, was a video titled "Diaper Grounding" by PoseidonGodofWater20 Productions, which it was uploaded in April 30, 2011. But as once, the first well-known grounded video was "Brian Gets In Trouble At School", uploaded on July 2, 2011 by Adamkleinschmidt2003.

They became popular with a video called "Caillou calls his Baby Sister Stupid / Grounded", made by African Vulture In December 2013 and later reuploaded by the FunEditor4 on November 3, 2018.

Not even the now-controversial programming site Scratch is free of these videos.

Grounded video 

A very common type of Goanimate (aka GoToHell) video. Usually, it involves a character, usually from a kids show, having a minor infraction, then suddenly his parents appear and grounds him for an incomprehensibly long period of time , usually at least 1 million years, then the character getting grounded walks away with huge internal screeches.
These videos are often very cringeworthy, with inanimated non-PNG objects and weird movements that defy physics being commonplace. They are so cringy that some mistook them as advertisements by Clorox.
Typical grounded video:
Caillou: I am going to eat some chips
*hand moves to a bag of inanimate chips with a background*
*boris appears*
Boris: *massive internal screech* o o o o o o o o CAILLOU HOW DARE YOU EAT THAT'S IT YOUR GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED FOR 98532908774 x 10^31 YEARS!!!!!! GO TO UR ROOM NOW!!!!!!!!
Caillou: what a a a a a o *another massive internal screech*

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
