early one morning, Timothy took a noticeably low-volume crap, and then flushed and washed his hands. A few minutes later he realized it was an Opera Poop—one that required a second and possibly a third visit to the toilet.

A monotonous television drama that is on everyday, five days a week, 52 weeks out of the year. Soap operas are known for their attrocious acting, their unrealistically attractive women who have had 5 or 6 plastic surgeries.
On a soap opera the average age difference between a parent and child is roughly 8 years. (Yes, usually a 40 year old woman on a soap will have a son that is over 30)
On any given soap opera episode there are anywhere from 3-6 different storylines, usually interrelated somehow. Every few years or so, the same episodic material is completely recycled. Soap operas are all about couples seeking to elope because their families are enemies. On most soaps there are between 15-30 characters broken down into 2 or 3 families. Someway the families know each other. Either they are business partners or elsewhere.
A soap opera is a show where you can't go 5 minutes without seeing a tampon commercial.
In every soap, in every scene their is a fireplace in the background and a tote of wine.
A soap opera is a show to watch for people with a lot of time on their hands or don't have a life!!!

Generally speaking, refers to an epic adventure in space that focuses less on the technical details and more on good vs. evil and action. The mechanics of how things work ('hyperspace', 'the force') tend to be glossed over, as opposed to traditional "hard sci-fi", like Poul Anderson's "Tau Zero", where realism is emphasized, generally leading to stories smaller in scope.
Not an absolute term - Star Wars is more space opera than Star Trek, which itself is more space operaish than Deep Impact

An increasingly popular genre of Science Fiction. The term is largely self explanatory in that a space opera is a drama that is simply put in the context of science fiction. Although it can be "hard" science fiction, space operas typically focus on the characters to a point where the actual setting (space obviously, but more specifically, a technological future) is largely unimportant.
Have you seen Cowboy Bebop or that new Battlestar Galactica show?
No, I've never been a fan of space operas.

A weekday drama airing during the daytime, intended for women (particularly "homemakers"/"at-home moms"), known for excessively emotional acting and shallow plots and scripts. Soap operas are so-called because the earliest dramas, which originated in the 1950s and 1960s, were sponsored by soap-making companies such as Proctor & Gamble.

This is what an Email Opera looks like:
// Message 1: TJ says //
1. /excuses
2. PoF was complicated... Turns out she had a bf. BUT I DIDN'T KNOW, IT WAS ONLY AFTER WE KISSED (we went for a walk after the wall climbing) THAT SHE TOLD ME. Which is bullsh*t. She was unhappy and wanted to see if there was anything better out there. I'm not going anywhere near that sh*t.
3. They added new walls.
// Message 2: EM says //
1. I said stop trolling!
2. Ouch sorry dude! That shit sucks!
/kekeke
// Message 3: TJ says //
1. /excuses
2. She wanted to see me again. She texted me this morning. They've been going out for a year already and she's somewhat ready to break off with him (maybe). On moral grounds, I can't do it unless she breaks it off and there's been an acceptable buffer period. We actually had a great time right up until that last bombshell.
// Message 4: EM says //
1. Your gay
2. buffer period is not needed after breakup sex I think would be awesome lol.
Continues for another 10 exchanges...
