It is a syndrome that affects students and it means that the student studies what has been studied in three or four months just few hours before the exam. This syndrome begins one or two days before the exam or in any means of transport while the student is literally on his way to sit for the exam.
Symptoms are “laughing for no reason accompanied by crying and increased hunger and thirst”..
( polyphagia , polydipsia , severe psychosis ).
The treatment usually consists of calming down the student and reminding him that the world is at the end a meter by meter.
(Doctors recommend serving him food he likes along with mint tea).
Friend: Do you want to hung out later?
Student: I can’t! I have an exam tomorrow! Justpray I survive this Dog’s zankation syndrome.
"dog'sbreakfast," which has been British slang for "a complete mess" since at least the 1930s. While no one took the time to write down the exact origin of the phrase, the allusion involved seems to be to a failed culinary effort, perhaps a burned or botched omelet, fit only for consumption by the mouth of last resort, Fido. As a vivid figure of speech meaning something so fouled up as to be utterly useless, "dog's breakfast" can cover anything from a play plagued by collapsing scenery to a space mission ruined by a mathematical error. "Dog's dinner," which seems to have appeared around the same time, means exactly the same sort of disaster, but has the advantage of being attractively alliterative. Both phrases are heard occasionally in the U.S., but are more common in the U.K. and Commonwealth countries.
a British adaptation of the American slang term, "the shit," used in reference to something that is superb, outstanding, amazing, or the best of its general category.
Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever) popularised the term in his short animated series, "The Rotten Fruit."
In UK slang terms the "dog's bollocks" means the best. It comes from the habit of male dog's licking their testicles (bollocks) and that they must taste good as they spend so much time in this activity.
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
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.
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!
