Etymology: Mistranslation of Japanese 君達の基地は、全てCATSがいただいた (literally “we (CATS) have taken all of your bases”). This grammatically incorrect "Engrish" phrase originated in the English subtitles of the 1991 European Sega Mega Drive version of the 1989 Japanese arcade game Zero Wing and became a catchphrase and meme on the Internet in the early 2000s.

  1. Used to tout victory over an opponent, or simply as a humorous catchphrase.
