All your base are belong to us

A phrase introduced in the 1991 Sega Genesis game called "Zero Wing" sometimes abbreviated as AYB or AYBABTU. The game was poorly translated to English from a Japanese version of the game as seen in the below dialog of the game.

Titles: In A.D. 2101, war was beginning.
Captain: What happen?
Mechanic: Someone set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal!
Captain: What!
Operator: Main screen turn on!
Captain: It's you!!
Cats: How are you gentlemen!! All your base are belong to us. You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say!!
Cats: You have no chance to survive make your time. Ha ha ha ha....
Operator: Captain!!
Captain: Take off every 'ZIG'!! You know what you doing. Move 'ZIG." For great justice.

Later, gamers and geeks used this phrase as a joke and to show their true geekness. Today, this phrase is on thousands of websites, movies, text messages, and other locations. Performing a search in your favorite search engine will find thousands of results of movies, t-shirts, and websites on the Internet for this phrase.
