| **"Bellowing Antropoids" and "Britain is Fat/VAT":** Mostly [[the politibrits|politbrit]] memes that appeared after the conclusion of the controversial "Brexit" referendum in the UK. Shortly after their spread in Political Chat, they became so memetic that they quickly lost any serious connotations they might have had first, and devolved into purely sarcastic usage by all involved. | **"Bellowing Antropoids" and "Britain is Fat/VAT":** Mostly [[the politibrits|politbrit]] memes that appeared after the conclusion of the controversial "Brexit" referendum in the UK.

| **Top Kekkonen:** Charming meme devised by [[DrakonFin]] by combining the already established Internet expression "top kek" (a belly laugh, a "super-<nowiki>LOL</nowiki>") with a photo of a chuckling Urho Kekkonen, Finland's famous Cold War era president. The caption added to the photo was, naturally, "Top Kekkonen". Originally intended [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/vladimir-zhirinovsky-tells-americans-to-vote-for-trump-or-face-nuclear-war.400589/page-3#post-13356778|as a one-off joke]] in a thread discussing Putin's politics towards Finland and other neighbours of Russia, it developed something of a cult following in PolChat and was still being used even several months later. Effectivelly became the indigenous AH.com version of the "top kek" shorthand. | **Top Kekkonen:** Charming meme devised by [[DrakonFin]] by combining the already established Internet expression "top kek" (a belly laugh, a "super-<nowiki>LOL</nowiki>") with a photo of a chuckling Urho Kekkonen, Finland's famous Cold War era president.

| **"Their account surely got hacked/doxxed !":** Many younger AH.commers who joined in the latter 2010s seem to have a tendency to blame virtually every kick or ban of anyone who eventually exposed themselves as a racist/troll/etc. to be the result of "his/her account getting hacked", "getting doxxed", and so on. Admittedly, once or twice is a possibility not to be dismissed. But when tens of people eventually reveal themselves as unpleasant individuals who severely break the board's rules (time and time again, until they're banned), the idea that they're merely the products of "hacked accounts" by some mean-spirited anonymous persons becomes... dubious, at best. | **"Their account surely got hacked/doxxed !":** Many younger AH.commers who joined in the latter 2010s seem to have a tendency to blame virtually every kick or ban of anyone who eventually exposed themselves as a racist/troll/etc. to be the result of "his/her account getting hacked", "getting doxxed", and so on.

| **Petike - part MacGyver, part Jason Bourne ?:** Petike got back into his old archery and bowyery hobby during the summer of 2019. He showed off photos of his first-ever hand-built, entirely non-metal crossbow in the social thread, commenting humbly "I was bored over the weekend, so I made this...". The showcase prompted comments such as General Tirpitz's "//Compared to bored General Tirpitz, bored Petike is much more productive.//" and Baron Bizzare's "//Note to Self: Do not give Petike plutonium when he's bored.//". Be warned, Petike announced plans to make a lever-action "latchet crossbow" later that summer, again with using only scrap materials. Best head for the hills, ladies and gents ! (Currently, there is no proof that Petike played the MacGyver theme song as BGM while assembling his contraption of doom.) | **Petike - part MacGyver, part Jason Bourne ?:** Petike got back into his old archery and bowyery hobby during the summer of 2019.

| | **"Put videos under a spoiler, please !":** Minor meme based on actually reasonable netiquette, that originated in several fast-paced PolChat discussion threads where people were posting a lot of videos, frequently, rather than just every now and then. This resulted in the loading times and loads in some people's browsers causing issues. As a result of the issue, Ian the Admin asked everyone politely but firmly to please put all shared videos in those discussion threds under a spouler. Though this issue kept recurring from time to time by people who forgot the rule, others were quick to remind them to... "Put videos under a spoiler, please !". |
