Denoobres 

A denoobre (pronounced "Dee-NEW-bray") is a demerit credited to a franchisee who uses the BOSS intranet and improperly spells one or more words. Each misspelling or incorrectly used grammar equals one denoobre. At the end of the year, the Spelling Czar (appointed by the President) will report to the Home Office the results of findings throughout the prior year.

Those whose name(s) remains on the list at an arbitrarily determined cut-off point, will be eligible to receive a franchise-fee free month, including those ascribed to amounts sent in monthly for NAF (National Advertising Funds).

This system has been implemented on the private intranet systems used by various franchisers to improve the literacy of its owners.
Joe earned a pair of denoobres for posting something with respect to his business concern on his franchise intranet without regard to grammar or spelling rules: "Like I siad, she wasn't someone I'd do business with again."

Use of proper grammar and spelling would rewrite this sentence to read as follows: "As I said, she wasn't someone I'd do business with again."

A name which is pronounced "Do no vaughn" not "Donna vin" because it isn't spelled that name. As a side note, Donovan should be pronounced "Daw no van" not "Donna vin" just because you want to be original doesn't mean you can spell your name retarded and then just pronounce it how you want. You don't say someone with the name spelled xxxjeosij is named Jimmy.

Denver, Colorado.
Denver, and Colorado in general, is a large black hole (hence the lack of oxygen in the air), and once you've lived there long enough, you can never truly get away.
Those who move away usually end up coming back in 1-3 years, despite themselves.

*Denver has the highest alchohol consumption rate in the USA. Or something along those lines. We're all too wasted to remember exactly.
Sally, I thought you moved to the East Coast? Back in Denvoid already, eh? Let's go get some beer.

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!
