Guy Fawkes Night in the UK, celebrating the Gunpowder Plot of 5th November 1605, when religious fundamentalists were thwarted in their attempted terrorist attack against the Houses of Parliament in the United Kingdom. A proposed new name for these celebrations in line with the modern tradition of referring to significant events using just numbers (although in the UK the day comes before the month).

Everyone's talking about 9/11 when 2 planes hit the twin towers in 2001, but no one's talking about 5/11 in 2023 when I filled my boss's car with 100 paper airplanes. What a tragic day it was, sadface.
"Remember 5/11?"
"Yes I do. I still keep finding them in my car sadface."

A height considered to be very tall for girls, yet short for boys, although it’s actually not. The average male is nearly 5’10, yet 5’11 seems to be short according to woman. Being a 6’0 male will make all the difference in the world to women.
“Ugh I really want to date John but i feel like he’s too short, he's only 5’11!”

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
