Rivington and Blackrod High School 

A small shit hole in the outskirts of horwich which is accompanied by the scum of bolton. kids who go there have no chance of passing their exams and may as well give up all together. they have the highest population of skets in all of england and is probably home to various diseases (specifically STD's) that doctors don't even know about. despite being built on a hill, it's reputation is fucking downhill. new british slang terms are probably invented on this very site and pedophiles tend to relocate their attention to becoming a teacher as dating a student is nothing new up in rivi. if that doesnt work, then staying outside the gates and giving them free sweets (cos the kids dont wanna spend a tenner on sweets ya get me) will do just fine. also, health class is not only about studying pills but popping them aswell.

A Blackrom describes a category of relationships that fall under the hate hemisphere, and are associated with the color black. They are tied to strongly negative emotions.

There are two kinds of Blackroms: Auspisticism and Kismesissitude.

1. An auspistice is a "facilitator" of some sort between two others, mediating interactions between them and keeping their relationship functional. Auspisticism need only be felt by the auspistice and not the two parties in the mediated relationship.

2. Kismesissitude is linked to hatred, and it is necessary that both parties feel hatred towards each other. Although, it may be based on a mix of hatred and sexual attraction. The person you feel kismesissitude for is known as your kismesis. The term is closely related to "potent arch-rivalry".

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!
