    I took an arrow TO the knee
    So I played Skyrim recently because of the re-release on Steam.

    I was on master difficulty and fighting in a dungeon against an archer, suddenly took a hit from them and the killcam showed my ragdoll body flung backwards into a wall, when it came to rest I kid you not, the arrow was in my characters knee.

    I had not laughed that hard in a long time.

    I selected the answer before even thinking.

    Then I saw the results and was appalled...

    So I will add this clip to just re-educate everyone.

    In . He took it in the knee . He didn't take an arrow to his own knee . Someone shot him because he was an adventurer . NPCs do that . A lot .

    Edit because my auto correct took an arrow in the knee .

    Its acually an old phrase from middle English refering to mariage.
    "'You have suffered for me to win this throne, and I see how you hate jungle. Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you.'" The Many Headed Talos - Michael Kirkbride

    You would be the minority in a 3:1 ratio.

    BTW it actually means that they got married and had to settle down not that they were shot in the actual by an arrow.

    Well, there goes your adventuring career. Time to retire and apply to that open city guard position. :smiley:

    Just like so many things on the Internet... grammar does not apply here. I have always heard "to the knee" maybe for the grammar people "to [sic] the knee" would help calm your nerves a little? :)

    I took an arrow to the knee, but the knee refused it.

    I took an arrow in the knee, and it is still there.

    I shot an arrow into my foot, because my knee has had enough of this.

    No, it's not. That came from a Tumblr post claiming so which went viral (well, it claimed it was an old Norse phrase.) Then people started doing research and nobody found any evidence that such a phrase ever existed. And then people found the Reddit thread where "arrow in the knee = getting married" originated as a joke. Bethesda later said in an interview that the line was added to give the guards more personality, and some eventually asked the guy who actually wrote the line, Emil Pagrulio, why the knee: he said he just thought it sounded like a survivable injury.
