Arrow to the Knee

A phenomenon that occurs when you're stopped in your tracks or cease to do something that you used to: popularised in today's culture by Skyrim with the famous phrase "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee." iterated by guards that pop up in the game. Since Skyrim's release it has found popular use around the interweb, having been parodied thousands of times in youtube videos and comments it has become a meme.

The phrase has actually been misinterpreted, the original is " in the knee" and not "to the knee", but since the majority says "to the knee", that's how the phrase is used.

The phrase can be applied to any everyday situation by "I used to .... but then I took an arrow to the knee"

"I used to post definitions on urban dictionary, but then I took an arrow to the knee"

take a knee

"Take a Knee", heretofore called TAK. This term comes from American Football. Should you f**k up during practice or worse, during a game, the coach tells you TAK. I first heard this term in 1985, though I believe it originated from an earlier date.

Coach Says: Miss your read...TAK. Miss your block...TAK. Miss your hole...TAK.
Ex: God...mit John Doe! Get your blocks or you're taking a knee.
Ex: Jesus Freakin' Christ... that ball fell right through your hands, Take a Knee.

Knee bashers

trousers that are so short it is unbelievable that anyone would wear them. generally you can see a couple of inches of ankle/the top of a full length sock if they are knee bashers, if not they are ankle bashers.

they are flapping over his socks, what a pear of knee bashers
