educational system 

A system that claims to "educate" its victims, while in actuality hinders critical thought, creativity, or joy in the victim's everyday life by issuing homework to extend the torture.

Teacher: Ok, now we shall learn how to do a 5 paragraph essay...

Student: But, isn't writing meant to represent free-flowing expression from people, and should not be subject to a trivial organization that only hinders this process? Oh wait, this is the what the educational system demands, is it?

Teacher: go to the office, now.

Educational Television

The most annoying and the most boring thing to happen to television. Parents advise their children to watch it, but they eventually can't take the trauma anymore. Appropriate for children 5 and under, but children over 5 usually watch more non-educational, but still lame and boring TV. Do you want to learn where Dora The Explorer goes next? Well lets not find out, and watch something worth while, mmkay?

Educational House

Educational house (edu house for short) is a genre of house music created by DJ Kronotrope. This is essentially house music that doubles up as an educational tool by imparting valuable knowledge to specialist groups and/or the general public through song.

Songs have been used as a medium for imparting knowledge for centuries. Though inferior in many respects to more traditional forms of learning, they remain especially potent for delivering small pieces of important information – especially the kind that needs to be memorised. This is because most songs contain loops. Usually, melodies constitute such loops; but for many songs with vocals, even lyrics loop. Looped lyrics assail the listener's mind and 'drill the information into one's head', so to speak.

Edu house songs can belong to any subgenre of house music, but must satisfy the conditions listed below:

1. The song qualifies as house music (this includes of all accepted subgenres such as progressive, electro, deep, and tech)
2. The knowledge imparted is valuable
3. The knowledge is 100% factually correct based on authoritative sources such as recognised academic journals
4. The knowledge imparted is not revisable within the foreseeable future
5. The song features no adult content (e.g. songs about sex and drugs cannot qualify as edu house).

Enjoy!

For some reason, though, I seem to know all about Heideggerian metaphysics, quantum mechanics, and how to perform a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral saphingo-oophorectomy. Word."

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!
