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.

Get the space opera mug.Snoop Dogg's Opera is a hypothetical opera originally conceived by Snoop Dogg himself. The opera is unrealistically massive; containing 1,000 of each voice type for both males and females. In total, the opera choir would contain over 5,000 people; and the song that would be sung would solely be "Smoke Weed Everyday" The opera would create many opera - style songs using just the lyrics as stated prior. It would truly be a sight to behold. Hopefully we'll see it happen in the future.

Get the Snoop Dogg's Opera mug.Related Words
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.

Get the soap opera mug.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...

Get the dope opera mug.Some signs that you're watching a soap opera:
-You're watching it between the hours of 10 AM and 2 PM.
-It looks like it was shot on a camcorder.
-The acting is extremely melodramatic and over-the-top.
-The quality of the writing makes you realize, "Hey, maybe the second season of Heroes wasn't so bad after all."
-The cast was picked solely for their looks, not because they have any real acting talent (which they usually don't).
-Somebody just came back from the dead in a totally unbelievable manner.
-Everybody is related to one another in some convoluted fashion.
-Everybody is having sex with one another, even if they're related (and don't know it).
-Are years of backstory getting in the way of the show's ever-more-outrageous plotlines? No problem. Just retcon it all away.

Soap operas only exists to give work to the actors, writers and directors who couldn't make it on primetime television, and to give stay-at-home soccer moms something to do during the day.
