This is an acronym for You Know You're Obsessed When...

This is usually shortened in threads so that a registered user of any given forum (for fans of either bands, celebrities, or the like) can talk about their list of obsessions without having to spell the whole acronym out.

Then, the registered users of said forum will spend pages upon pages describing a tattoo, sweater, hair part, etc. that whoever/whatever they're obsessed with has. And, of course, the rest of the site members will join in to say that the part is actually on the other side, and that you're a fool for not knowing and then you will immediately be shunned from that site for not being a TRUE *cough*stalker*cough* fan.
User1: YKYOW you have a vile of Angelina Jolie's blood!
User2: haha You have one too? lolz! we so cool.
User1: *air five!*
User2:yeah!

OR

YKYOW you stalk Tegan and Sara's tour bus just so you can get them to take a picture with you and your chest tattoo of Tegan/Sara's face.

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.

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!
