Paddle Faster I hear Banjoes! 

A term used between 2 individuals when travelling through an area which you wouldn't normally traverse because it is frequented by a bunch of horrible individuals who would not think twice about shagging you up the arse!

Taken from the disturbing film Deliverance, where Burt Reynolds and friends get chased by a bunch of hillbillies in the woods, who want to shag Ned Beatty up the poop-shoot!
Godfrey: I think we should get on the next bus Gerald, I don't like it round here?

Gerald: I agree darling, we better paddle faster I hear Banjoes!

Paddle faster, I hear banjos! 

A common exclamation when in or around hillbilly infested areas. Doesn't necessarily need to be used when in a canoe; merely a warning to the other non-hillbillies in the vicinity.
It was a bright and sunny day when my father and I decided to go fishing down by the ol' waterhole. I remember that the seagulls looked like delicate little clouds, fluttering in the breeze. We made our way to our canoe and rowed out, fishing rods in hand and a song in our hearts. As we made our way down to the waterhole, we became aware of an eerie silence. The trees around us swayed to a halt. Then, quietly at first but raising in intensity, we heard the twang of a banjo. My father turned to me, his face colorless as he said "Paddle faster, I hear banjos!"

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
