Someone slow, dimwitted or stupid - another way of saying "Not the sharpest knife in the drawer". Also, someone who stands out in a crowd as being particularly unintelligent.
Marisa: Why does Eric even bother talking in class - he has no idea what he's talking about.
Michael: What do you expect? I mean he's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier!
Brit. slang especially prevalent in the Jeeves stories by P.G. Wodehouse. An annoying person. Perhaps the word is related to "blight", a plant disease that ruins potatoes (as a "blighter" tends to ruin things in which he's involved). The word appears to be milder in force than "bastard".
I tackled the blighter squarely. I mean to say, nobody knows better than I do that Jeeves is a master mind and all that, but, dash it, a fellow must call his soul his own. -- from The Inimitable Jeeves, by P.G. Wodehouse
as defined by the reality TVshowForensic Mysteries on HLN, this a synonym phrase for "not the brightest person around"

A verb; the habitual act of achieving 'blackout' stage. To be brighted your motor skills must be absent, you are completely unaware of your current location and or surroundings and, most importantly, one must have a 40oz Magnum in there posession at all time.

While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
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.
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!
