This guide is for memes commonly used in TBT.
Please contribute to this thread so that newbies can go here and understand what some of these phrases or words mean without having to ask anybody. And please notify me of any errors.

Guide
Old'd - A phrase used in response to something old or that most people here have seen.
Ex: A user posts the Badger badger badger video. Another user says "old'd" in response to the wide-known video.

(y) - A xat smiley. Means "thumbs up".
Ex - A user says "I got a new game! Yay!". Another user posts "(y)".

(u n) (without space) - Another xat smiley. Means "uninterested".
Ex - A user posts something that no one cares about. Another user posts "(un)".

Fix'd - What one says after "fixing" or editing another user's post to fit their likings.
Ex - A user posts "JB is so cute!". A user with good tastes edits the quote to say "JB is so demonic!" and then says "Fix'd" in their post.

inb4lock - What most members say when it looks like a thread is going to be locked, trying to say it right before it locks, hence "in before lock".
Ex - A thread has a heated argument with lots of flaming in it. Staff are viewing it. A user immediately posts "inb4lock" because the thread is obviously going to close soon.

The Blog Tree - Means that one is using TBT like a blog.
Ex - A user posts a thread about what has recently happened in his/her life. A user posts "The Blog Tree" or something containing that.

lrn2(insert noun/verb) - What is used in a post when a user is new to something, struggling with something, or is doing something incorrectly. Means "Learn to ___".
Ex - A newbie triple posts because they don't know how to edit.
Another user says "lrn2edit".

They're new ones. They just have to develop.

Oh no, I forgot The Blog Tree.

They're commonly used around here, so I'd consider them memes.
That's like saying "the word 'the' is commonly used around here, so... it's a meme herp derp". An internet meme is something spread around widely. I really wouldn't say these are memes.
