No Shit, Sherlock 

Used as a sarcastic comment for someone who stated the obvious, using a reference to the famous fiction detective Sherlock Holmes, it can be understood as "No way, you are Sherlock Holmes!" which can actually mean "Of course, you dumbass!".

-No shit, Sherlock!

Sherlock 

Legend has it that there is a dangerous fandom called 'Sherlock'. When you enter this fandom you never come back. You are put under the spell of Benedict Cumberbatch and Andrew Scott. Their evil controller Steven Moffat will entrance you in rage of his evil cleverness. Sherlock is a modern version of the famous stories by Sir Arthur conan Doyle. Moffat takes these stories to a new level...
Mom: What are you up to?
Me: Just gonna watch some Sherlock!
Mom: *Throws laptop on the floor* NO!

Home of the Sherlock Fandom 

Home of the Sherlock Fandom. Recently after the heartbreaking episode Reichenbach Fall, the Sherlock Fandom took refuge on this website, omegle. If you go to omegle.com and answer/ask questions for a bit you will see quite a few of the 'Sherlockians' You can tell it's them by the following:

1. They tend to RP on omegle and will add initials of sherlock characters such as -SH, -JM, -JW, -MH, -GL and so on.

2. Their jokes; Not my division, I will make you into shoes, the bee gees, I will sssssskin you, shock blankets, Sherlocked, let's have dinner. (Also, let it be known that Molly is a BAMF)

3. Their ships, the most popular being Sherlock/John others include; John/jam, Mycroft/Lestrade, Molly/Lestrade, Jim/Sebastian, Mycroft/umbrella, Anderson/dinosaurs and pretty much anyone/anything even if the two people have never met or even exist in different universes.

4. Calling these ships gay in most cases is not an insult (nor should it be in any case in any social situation) in fact, the Sherlockians will call their ships gay as a boast and will respond to your 'insults' with, in a Moriarty impression, "That is rather the point."

5. Most RPs recently have been reunions of Sherlock and John, John thinking that Sherlock was dead and all (SPOILERS) and also, let's not forget, Jim and Seb's reunion.

6. Lestrade's divisions are nonexistent, unless its Molly or Mycroft.

Be patient with us ordinary people of omegle. We are a grieving fandom..
Question to discuss:
Excuse me I'm looking for my division...-GL

Stranger 2: Right here. -MH
Stranger 1: The sherlockians are invading Omegle!
Stranger 2: Let it be known, omegle is now the home of the sherlock fandom!

Sherlockalypse 

When it's snowing/raining/ Insert other natural disaster so heavily outside that you fear you may never be able to leave the house again...and so the only logical solution is snuggle up with some tea and pop tarts and have a "Sherlock" marathon and await the end of the world :)
person: Oh my gosh we're snowed in!
me: COMMENCE THE SHERLOCKALYPSE!

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.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
