Denverism 

1) One of many completely useless, mind numbing, tactics to that are meant to deceive or misguide your peers of the present situation. 2) To come up with a load of bullshit that sounds so convincing that everyone in your workplace will be distracted of the fact you haven't done anything work related in days. 3) A method of torpedoing your co-workers who first tried to help you but you refused to accept it based on the fact that you think you are superior to them and they are unworthy of lending you a hand. Then when it comes down to the deadline, you blame everyone for not having anything done and make them do all the work for you anyways. 4) Wipeout. 5) Any idea conceived by a native of Arkansas. 6) Anything you can do to waste time or piss people off or both. 7) To turn every conversation even slightly related to work into a social event so that no work actually has to be done.
Sit down, shut up and do what you are told to. No one wants to waste their time listening to your useless Denverisms.

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!
