A term, often used in a derogatory manner, to refer to comments and rebuttals about about the current year and the actual or expected state of being for a society.
The phrase has its origins on 4chan, with satire of John William Oliver and his use of the current year as a straw man argument.
Person A: How am I privileged again? I was born to a single mother and a dad who ran away never to pay child support, only to graduate high-school as the recession peaked.
Person B: (Jokingly) You are white and male. You have no argument and should understand this, it's current year.

Internet years pass much quicker than real years. It is due to the very frequent and enormous amount of updates on blogs and news sites.
Example: if you bump into an image that you had seen days ago it feels like it happened ages ago.
Fred Flinstone's comment: "I can't wait to try this videogame. When is it coming out?"
Michael J. Fox's comment: "Where have you been in the past 100 internet years? Your grandma might have rocked that game."
The 23rd and best year of your life. Named in reference to Michael Jordan, superhero basketball player, whose jersey number is 23.
I spent my Jordan year feeding starving children, writing the great American novel, drinking with my besties, and getting laid 1000 times.

Jim: I don't mind, I became a carpenter, and now live happily within my means.
A father who when taking his child to the swimming baths can't help but become overexcited. Such a man usually throws the child (and other children) around the pool, repeatedly splashes everyone and generally acts like an infant in his quest to prove he is the best, most fun father on the planet.
Lifeguard 1 (about to take over supervision of the pool): Anybody playing up?
Lifeguard 2: Nah it's cool man, just watch out for "Dad of the year" over there.

the worst year of your fucking life. The year that colleges choose to look at the closest out of all your years in high school. Because of said scrutiny, students tend to take an overload of challenging courses. This year is characterized by no more than 4 hours of sleep each night, no social life, mounting pressure, incomprehensible stress, never-ending tests (APs, SAT, etc.) and work. Many combine this with too many extra curricular activities which can also make you want to collapse by the end of every day.
Out of all years, finals week will be the toughest to get through during junior year.
effects of junior year can include, but are not limited to:
sleep deprivation, delirium, reaching brain capacity, involuntary twitching, physical manifestation of stress, decline in grades, and/or spontaneous combustion
Parent: "I know it's Junior Year and all, but it's not healthy to be so sleep deprived..."
Junior: "Colleges don't look at health!"
Friend: "wanna hang out?"
Junior: "Are you crazy?! It's Junior Year, no time to hang."
