The most famous drum beat in the world, in a duration of 6 seconds. This drum beat alone has been sampled about 3,000 times in many songs of different genres, including Hip Hop, Jungle, Drum & Bass, and others. It was sampled from a B-Side track called "Amen, Brother" by The Winston's from their 1969 album, "Color Him Father". Barely noticed at the time until the sampler was introduced, it became widely known and inspired by many music artists of today.
A few example songs that use the Amen Break sample:
N.W.A - Straight Outta Compton
ฮผ-Ziq - Carpet Muncher
Michel Van Den Bos - Foregone Destruction (from the Facing Worlds CTF map in Unreal Tournament '99)
Salt-N-Pepa - I Desire
Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock - Keep It Going Now
Mantronix - The King of Beats

Source of possibly the most used Drum and Bass break ever, this song by The Winstons made for some of the best (particularly old-school) tracks ever. The high tempo of the original and the tight, compressed sound of the solo made for a natural break that moves the booties.
Oh, shit, he dropped amen! Head is bobbing.

Amen Bitch is used when youโre talking to your friends about something, but since theyโre your friend you canโt be TOO respectful. Itโs also used when agreeing with a literal bitch.
Haley: Kayla is SUCH an asshole!
Carrie: Amen bitch
The strategy to push social media engagement by coming up with content meant to trigger a seemingly unconscious response to comment the word "amen", like or share.
This is typically seen amongst Filipino Facebook users and is something the foreign content creators who are fond of "pinoy baiting" content have not been capitalizing at the time of this writing.
Content creators and traditional media companies in the Philippines often use amen baiting content to boost their engagement as the dominantly Catholic social media capital of the world just can't help but comment "amen".
