Ancient History 

Can simply be described as the History chosen for deadshit losers. It has nothing to do with modern society so The Department of Education have developed a move to ban it from high school due to its irrelevance. Students are being pushed to take up as many units of Modern History as possible. Popular kids at school are asking for a fifth unit of Modern History to be introduced due to number of suicides that have been happening during Ancient History class time. Although studies show that the kids who have committed suicide were unloved and often had rare deformities of the face/genitals(tiny sized scrotums apparent in males and Ingrown penises in females) so some kids have pushed to keep Ancient History as it kills all the filthy mingas and unpopular boys.
That kid is fat, friendless and eating wheat.. He must do Ancient History

Critical Theory of Ancient History

The application of Critical Theory to the study of ancient history—examining how knowledge of the ancient world is constructed, how it serves present interests, and what's erased. Critical Theory of Ancient History asks: Who gets to interpret ancient civilizations? How do modern assumptions shape our understanding of the past? How has ancient history been used to justify contemporary hierarchies (e.g., classical Greece as the origin of "Western civilization")? Drawing on postcolonial theory and critical historiography, it insists that ancient history is never just about the past—it's about the present's need for origins, legitimacy, and identity.
"Ancient Greece was the birthplace of democracy, they say. Critical Theory of Ancient History asks: whose democracy? Built on what? Slavery, patriarchy, exclusion—ancient Athens was no model. The story of Greece as origin serves modern Western identity, not historical understanding. Critical theory insists on asking: why do we tell this story, and who benefits?"

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!
