"Hoihoi" (ホイホイ) - a roach motel. In the context of Nico Nico Douga, a "hoihoi" is a video which is expected to attract large numbers of a certain type of user. Some examples are "shooter hoihoi" (referring to shmup fans), "fujoshi hoihoi", and most popularly "ossan hoihoi". Since this is the internet, anyone over 20 is automatically a geezer (ossan), so any video which references retrogames or retro-anime (i.e. anything from more than about 10 years ago) is very likely to be tagged "ossan hoihoi". Unlike the previous example, "hoihoi" videos usually do deliver on the promised content.

"(ry" - Short form for "ryaku", which translates to "abbreviated" or "summarized". Something like the English "etc", except that (ry is most often seen as a way to abbreviate the name of a meme. Example: "Marisa stole (ry"
