Debate Camp 

The title given to any number of hellish weeks spent at a university over summer practicing debate. At camp, students learn the fundamentals of debate as well as strategy, theory, and how to run strange post-modern arguments that only fellow debaters and experienced judges will understand. Students will also learn the art of staying awake for 4 days at a time, that espresso is its own food group, and how to acquire drugs in a foreign city. Days of camp are typically 7am-3am and some weeks there will be as many hours of sleep as there are arms on a Ugandan refugee. Students are likely to return home with a permanent carpet texture to their face (acquired by sleeping in the isles of law libraries), excessive kritiks and Kantian quotes, an appreciation for adderall and a deep relationship with their laptop.

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!
