Don’t look back in anger. 

Don’t look back in anger — A realization that occurs once one is old enough to realize that what you once called some of the worse moments of your life were actually pretty damn awesome.

All the times you got your heart broken; and, all of the lovers you used to complained about to your friends while imbibing your favorite “complaint inducing drug of choice” were actually some of the greatest people you ever met during the most amazing part of your life.

And actually, your heart wasn’t really even really broken yet. That only happens when facing old age, sickness, and death and watching your friends and frenemies drop like The Ten Little Indians in the now politically incorrect childhood song.

Everything that has come before was like stretching before a long run…

…which feels like a too short of a run when you get to this part of the road. Nostalgia isn’t remembering the past; it’s living in the present as an echo of who you once were.

And if you don’t know what I’m talking about; then don’t worry.

You will.
Don’t look back in anger. There is something worse than a lover who drives you crazy; and that’s having no lover at all. There’s something worse than being catcalled on the street by construction workers; and that being invisible to the people who pass you by. It’s like the man who said: “I used to complain about my missing finger until I met a man who lost his hand.” I used to complain about my yesterdays until I started running out of tomorrows.

Don't Look Back In Anger 

But Don't Look Back In Anger, I heard you say.
Angela is an amazing female. She helps you get up when you feel down. There are no possible words to describe Angela. She is better than any word you can think of. She might be shy at first but you just need to get to know her. Angela usually has long dark curvy hair. Angela will never let you down and is always there when you need her. If you ever meet an Angela don't make the same mistake I made. DON'T stop talking to her because when she gone she is gone forever.

Angela Bassett Moment

A moment in which a man/woman get's incredibly angry and pissed at his/her lover (usually for infidelity) and goes bat-shit crazy. Usually involves destroying all of their partner's personal belongings they can find. May involve a bonfire.

-Comes from the movie "Waiting to Exhale"
The Angela Bassett Moment:

This motherfucker is psychotic! I bet you there are serial killers less anal. A white woman's the only one who will TOLERATE your smug ass. I was your white woman for eleven years! You couldn't have started that damn company without me. Hell, I WORKED MY ASS OFF! I mean, I got a Masters' degree in business, and there I was - his secretary, his office manager, and his COMPUTER! "No, Bernadine, you can't start the catering business this year. Why don't you wait a few years? Yeah, don't start now; wait one, two, three years. I need you to be the FUCKING BACKGROUND to MY foreground!" 732...732...the number of times that we made love. I remember when that bastard told me he was counting - right after 51! I'll show you! FUCK ME FOR NOT LEAVING YOUR ASS THEN! But the worst, oh the FUCKING worst, was making my kids go to a school with two other black children because you didn't want them to be improperly influenced. Well, guess what, John?! YOU'RE THE MOTHERFUCKING IMPROPER INFLUENCE! Get your shit, get your shit, and GET OUT!

Giant Squid of Anger 

A Youtube troll, or someone who just leaves awful nasty comments on Youtube videos. Term coined by the vlogbrothers, John and Hank Green, of youtube.com/vlogbrothers
Commenter: wtf this is dum thees nerdss hav nno lifes only reterds wud watch dis

Nerdfighter: Wow, it looks like the comments are being attacked by a giant squid of anger.
A beautiful, strong capable woman. She is very smart and she has the most gorgeous, sparkling eyes. She is shy when you first meet her but once you take the time to get to know her she is quite fun to be around. She will never usually make the first move to talk to her crush as she is too shy but will start talking once her crush takes the time to talk to her. Angela is a girl who will stand up for what is right and won't let anyone get in her way. She also really loves sloths.
Person 1: woah, who's that girl who just walked in? She's stunning!
Person 2: that's Angela. If you like her you better make the first move.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

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!
