! Explanation
|-
| Christmas on my Face (A terrible case of Xmas)
| A smash hit URY christmas single from 2008 written by Rob Watts and Steve Gardner [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVICvXorh-s]
|-
| [[Christmas Endeavours]] in general
| They are so numerous there's a whole page about them. Basically we embarrass ourselves every year in the name of Xmas
|-
| 'There's no News'
| [quoting Anthony Williams] 'Came from a Roses where the news fader had been re-purposed for something. Helen M came in to do handover to the OB (this is when you had to read out the news intro text yourself), and it went something like this... "*this* is URY News.... there's no news!"
|-
| Wives
| The name given for our roll up banners. Originally known as 'Station Manager's Wife' as it is the only thing an SM can be trusted with at an OB
|-
| DO YOU LIKE VANBRUGH JAZZ?
| From a failed OB of Vanbrugh Jazz in 2014 where Alex Light accosted innocent people
|-
| 'Black Christmas'
| At the same Vanbrugh Jazz OB as 'DO YOU LIKE VANBRUGH JAZZ' the jazz band decided to do a rendition of 'White Christmas' but reworked as 'Black Christmas'. It was a bit racist. We had to fade down the feed.
|-
| 'News is Happening'
| How every News and Sport update must begin at Station Meetings, started by George Lane.
|-
| Superb Owl
| Live coverage of Super Bowls, by people who do not know anything about American Football. Usually involves way too much nudity that is generally acceptable for radio.
|-
| Alex Light
| The biggest meme of all
|-
| Talkback
| Someone will finish this eight year old engineering project so we can talk to the office and studio 2 from studio 1 soon, I promise. In the meantime, mad, occasionally violent gesturing through the window will have to suffice.
|-
| Anthony William's Flute
| From an infamous Alex Light house party where Anthony consumed way too much alcohol through a flute.
|-
| Ainsley Harriot
| A station wide obsession instigated by Qumarth Jash. Ainsley's face would frequently appear as the background to guest pc and an emoji was even made for him when we made a ury slack.
|-
| Biscuit News
| How did this win an award?
|-
| Unbelievable Scenes
| A phrase constantly said by Joshua Kerr to describe sport, antics and anything happening at all, ever
|-
| Other [insert branded item here] are available
| We take impartiality very seriously here at URY
|-
| EWA (Engineers Without Attitude)
| When a band bailed on URY Sessions, Jed Fulwell, Marco Bolt, Peter Rogers and Sam Merryweather stepped up to the plate and performed arguably the worst/best session in URY history. They also returned for a surprisingly excellent come-back at the Cover Your Ears event.
|-
| Michael Eats Kids
| We really don't know where this started. Someone just said it and it stuck.
|-
| Alex plugs stuff
| If he's on air, he's plugging his shows (he does so many), and if we're off air, plugging production meeting.
|-
| Kermit the Frog
| Station manager Ben Allen could do a really good Kermit impression, including singing live on air on multiple occasions.
|-
| In Other Gravy News
| On a Newshour episode, there was a story of a woman storing loads of money in gravy tins, which was found by the recycling people. Beth then went on to continue the show by saying "In Other Gravy News". Admittedly, the next clip was about chips cheese and gravy.
|-
| Hppenong
| An end of term special 12 hour show of just absolute chaos. Moving through the night there is often pizza, a need for air-fresheners and an hour of just playing songs called Go.
|-
| Rob 's House
| This is a joke that was filled in on a fill-in-the-blanks. It wasn't that funny, but we couldn't stop laughing for 15 minutes.
|-
| Let's Buy Chairs
| The chairs in the studio are '''awful'''. You sit on them, and they just sink and get lower. Despite discussing it for a year, Engineering team still haven't bought any.
|-
| Yeah No
| Station manager Ben Allen can never make up his mind, and always says Yeah-No. We made https://yeahno.xyz
|-
| broken - WAT!
| Don't say broken. People will be angry, and shout WAT!, because we're too lazy to add the h to "what".
|-
| Colin's Unemployed
| Literally everybody else got a job after graduating during the pandemic. The BBC still haven't replied about the One Show job.
