Pastede on
Used to refer to something unbearably stupid or ludicrous, usually in the form of "{object of scorn} iz pastede on yey!" (The deliberate misspellings are half the point of the joke.)
Origins
This initially spawned from the JournalFen-based FandomWank community, which exists to mock the idiocy in fandoms. The story goes that Lord of the Rings fangirl Crystal Gamgee knew the actors of the LotR movies well enough to get them to pose for sketches - sketches which were forgeries using borrowed photos and obvious Photoshop filters - when in reality, Crystal was just another shitty artist and fantard that nobody important knows, similar to you. While caught up in defending her lies, she displayed an obvious photomanip (pictured to the right) of actor Dominic Monaghan supposedly lying on her bed. In the process, "My hed iz pastede on yay!" was first used by Crystal herself to display her own lack of credibility, skillz, and intelligence. "Yay" in the original has mutated into "yey" in later use.
