ablesplaining
Ablesplaining is a patronizing "explanation" of any aspect of disability from someone who does not have the lived experience of being disabled. An ablesplainer's opinion is often shared without request and with a grossly inflated sense of entitlement. Don't be an ablesplainer.
Stop defending your words. You are ablesplaining!
i.e.
"I can use words like stupid, retard, moron, and idiot because they are just language and aren't meant to offend anyone."
"But you don't look like you have a disability!"
"Look at that person parking in an accessible parking space! They don't need a wheelchair so they are just taking advantage of the system."
"That child doesn't look autistic to me, the parents just need to discipline him/her."
"We are in compliance with ADA because we have wheelchair ramps and accessible bathroom stalls."

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.
