Sir Arthur Canberra 

Sir Arthur Canberra, a 19th century pioneer and explorer, saw in the Limestone Plains a panorama worthy of the landscape cult that established colonial Australia. Sir Arthur recognised that rural landscapes and lifestyle are the 'real' Australia, with life in the metropolis both artificial and unhealthy.

Sir Arthur was guided to the region by idealism fused with practicality, and successfully bartered two shiny balls and a magic numbers machine with the local indigenous people to secure mining rights to all the land from Gungahlingadinga to Tugerrawangally Creek.

Canberra City is named after him
E24 owner: "I lift my glass to Sir Arthur Canberra, without whom this city with it's wide, E24 only lanes, would not exist."

Thought Cancer™ 

The adverse effects one endures mentally from over-thinking things; usually secrets, inside information, or just the side effects of an over-active imagination.
You wanna know what Thought Cancer™ is?

You're cool with a guy. He settles down with a 'used-to-be' 'round-the-way' girl. They're all lovey dovey and stuff... You have a porno or two of her. You and him are supposed to be good, you and her talk. You start wondering:

Do I tell him?
But suppose he already knows?
But suppose he doesn't know?
Then she's gonna get upset with ME?
But I never told her to film her sexual exploits?
But it's none of my business anyways?
But they look so happy and I'm not the only one with the tape?
He might be upset that I know about it and didn't tell him?
Why did I have to see the damn tape?
Why do they have to be all over the place all lovey dovey?

Before you know it, you're failing exams, losing weight, can't fuck properly, drinking, chain-smoking... all the while the thought cancer is eating away at your psyche.

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.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.

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!
