in before lock

What posters on a message boards will sometimes say in response to a thread/topic that will eventually be locked/closed. This is a way to show that the thread is incredibly dumb or goes against the rules of the message board. Used to sometimes get in a free post to raise one's post count before the topic gets locked, preventing any further posting in it.

Person 1 Posts: Topic-This Forum Sucks!

Person 2: In Before Lock!

Person 3(Moderator/Admin): This topic is locked for bashing the message board and being dumb.

The Before Time

'The Before Time' is now used to reference the era proceeding the virus apocalypse of 2020.

While commonly believed to originate from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, this is a classic Mandela Effect misperception of history. No video exists of any character in the film ever using that phrase.

Rather, South Park Season 4, episode 16 parodies Beyond Thunderdome, and is the true origin of the saying.

In The Before Time we had an actual society. Jobs, parties, sports, schools, and other public gatherings were once normal and common.

In Before The Brockway

The phrase originally started in the Facebook group Tavern At The End Of The Internet following the propensity for a staff member always commenting ‘These jokes never get old, just like Nina!’ on Nina Tucker memes (from Fullmetal Alchemist). The use has expanded to being said when getting in right before the closing off point of something - getting in just before the red light, being the very last one to score a ticket for something, etc. It’s rapidly growing in popularity across groups and even into irl situations, bamboozling friends and coworkers.

Original gag:
Step 1: See a Nina Tucker meme

Step 2: Look to see if Tim Brockway has commented ‘These jokes never get old, just like Nina!’ yet

Step 3: If he hasn’t, then comment ‘In Before The Brockway’. You’ve won this round! If he has, then he wins.

Step 4: Rinse and Repeat!

“Finally, I’m in before the Brockway!”

“Damn, he’s just too quick, I never get in before the Brockway”
