They used to be seen everywhere on the internet. I havn't seen one in over 6 months. They were really popular, and then they were just gone. Does anyone know what happened to the phrase?

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

It died out.

It got out of hand pretty badly, then everyone started hating it and stopped making those awful jokes. Thank god.

Don't punch a British kid, the queen'll come after you.

Because the joke was slaughtered by its constant use

Then its corpse was dug up and paraded around the town

Memes come and go. What are you so new to the Internet that you don't even know that there are trends?

If you're a zombie and you know it, bite your friends.

The Flood Theory of Deterioration: q(p)=(qi)e^(-p/r)

Where q(p) is the quality of the thread as a function of p posts, (qi) is the inital quality of the first post, p is the amount of posts and r is the e-peen of the original poster.

It used to be popular, then it took an arrow to the knee. Obviously.

Multi-trillionaire modern cowboy.

That's right.

Overuse. That's why 9gag is such a cancer. They make hypes out of our beloved traditions.

Reddit was probably the main culprit here

I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

I used to use it, but then I took an arrow in the knee.

Same thing, less of an annoyance. The same could be said of 4chan, but that's just hating on your forefathers.

Was reading a book written in the 80s by the popular fantasy author David Eddings - Queen of Sorcery - and at one point the party come across a guard captain who used to be an adventurer but had to quit because he took an arrow to the knee.

Wonder if someone at Bethesda read it too and decided to write it in the game.

Teabag twin #1 is here to kick ass and chew gum. And I'm all out of gum.

It was an overused, awkward 'joke' that died out and was never even funny in the first place.

Non Nobis Nascimur - We are not born for ourselves.

It used to be a popular meme...















...until it took an arrow to the knee.

The world is full of mysteries, and shares too few of the answers required. An example of which, is how did I end up in the Brute Zone?

Life cycle of a meme:

Meme created
Few people use meme and enjoy the joke
Everyone finds out about said meme
Everyone posts meme in every social media outlet for unspecified amount of time
People find new meme
Meme dies
