Knowing he was about to expire, NOSferatu pulled himself along the floor toward the cooler; for his salvation lay submerged within, chilled to perfection. It is only 7:01pm, and there is much work yet to be done...indubitably.

The name of a vampire in a very old horror movie by the same name, it is sometimes used to refer to vampires in general, when one does not wish to use the popular term "vampire"
Jake is always afraid to make cliched remarks, why just the other day he said to me: "I was bitten on the neck by a handsome nosferatu."
