all your base are belong to us

A humorous declaration of victory. The phrase comes from a poor Japanese-to-English translation in the 1992 video game Zero Wing, which was then used as an Internet meme from the early 2000s. Ha-ha, we win again! All your base are belong to us! All your base are belong to us! Pay up, sucker! A: "Man, how did you find our hiding place?" B: "Who cares? All your base are belong to us!"
