deconstructing 

Reevaluating your faith and what you were taught to believe. It is very often abandoning fundamentalism. For some it is moving to a different form of the same faith, often a more logical,empathetic,progressive one, for others it is losing faith entirely. It is quite often people seeing the cruelty in the evangelical church and choosing to follow the love that Christ commanded instead of their evangelical churches.
James: you’re a Baptist right? You believe in the discrimination&anti-science that they’ve taught in their churches?
John: No I grew up in the baptist church but am deconstructing.

Deconstructing 

Easy... Unless (of course) the thing you are deconstructing is infinite. In which case, it is infinitely difficult and it takes literally forever.
Iam "This guy is unreal! 'tricking the audience'!? Like how I talked about the the "Attack on titan" writers tricking people into rooting for Hitler!?"

Hym "WHY HAVE WE NEVER LISTENED TO THESE INTERVIEWS BEFORE!? HAHAHA HE'S PRETENDING TO BE US! WE'RE THE IDEAL! THESE PEOPLE ARE AT THE HIGHEST ECHELON OF SOCIETY AND THEY ARE PRETEND TO BE US!!! HAAAHAHAHAAAA!!!"

Iam "He admits that he isn't even interested in the thing he's writing about. This is clearly an insult..."

Hym "HE'S RUNNING AROUND IN HOCKEY PADS PRETENDING TO BE BATMAN!"

deconstructivism 

The opposite of construction (not to be confused with constructivism), but not exactly.

A construction of step by step destruction in the real world, destroying what is known to create what is possible only in an other, inconceivable and as yet, unimaginable world.

Deconstruction

Band formed after the first fall-apart of Jane's Addiction. Dave Navarro and Eric Avery formed it. Stephen Perkins was interested but instead, he joined Perry Farrell's project, Porno For Pyros. They had one album: Deconstruction. They had one video: L.A. Song. They had no tour. A one time project that turned out surprisingly well. Dave and Eric's band name comes from their rebelling from Jane's Addiction.
the song "Iris" by Deconstruction is a great song.

Deconstruction

A central premise of deconstruction is that all of Western literature and philosophy implicitly relies on a metaphysics of presence,1213 where intrinsic meaning is accessible by virtue of pure presence.1415 Deconstruction denies the possibility of a pure presence and thus of essential or intrinsic and stable meaning — and thus a relinquishment of the notions of absolute truth, unmediated access to "reality" and consequently of conceptual hierarchy. "From the moment that there is meaning there are nothing but signs. We think only in signs."Language, considered as a system of signs, as Ferdinand de Saussure says,24 is nothing but differences. Words have meaning only because of contrast-effects with other words. 'Red' means what it does only by contrast with 'blue', 'green', etc. 'Being' also means nothing except by contrast, not only with 'beings' but with 'Nature', 'God', 'Humanity', and indeed every other word in the language. No word can acquire meaning in the way in which philosophers from Aristotle to Bertrand Russell have hoped it might—by being the unmediated expression of something non-linguistic (e.g., an emotion, a sense-datum, a physical object, an idea, a Platonic Form).25 Derrida terms logocentrism the philosophical commitment to pure, unmediated, presence as a source of self-sufficient meaning.
No true definition can be derived, so this space is wasted trying to explain deconstruction.

Coerced Deconstruction Olympics 

The weaponization of radical critique within anti-racist or activist circles, where people are coerced into performative deconstruction under threat of social or ideological exile.
“Bro showed up to the protest and next thing you know he’s crying during the Coerced Deconstruction Olympics because he didn’t use the right pronouns and forgot to say he benefits from colonialism.”

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!
