concertmaster 

The principal member of the first violin section; generally the most skilled violinist in any given orchestra. While technically only in charge of the first violin section, they often make executive decisions in regard to bowings and phrasing for the entire orchestra. They especially enjoy lording over the second violin section.

A great source of insecurity and angst for all concertmasters is the fact that they just weren't good enough to make it as soloists. Their oversized egos to compensate for the fact that they're really just failures inside, always looking up at what could have been if their playing was better.

While the term 'concertmaster' is generally seen as gender-neutral, the term concertmistress is occasionally used for females occupying this role.
Principal second violin: Hey, I heard they filled the concertmaster's spot with someone other than you. What do you know about this guy?

Assistant concertmaster: I heard from a mutual friend at Eastman that he hates his life because he went to Juilliard thinking he was actually going to come out a soloist. Instead, he ended up here, haha!

Principal second violin: No shocker there, but that means he's probably an arrogant, butthurt prima donna who's going to totally suck as a stand partner. I'm so sorry for you!

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!
