Faraging 

The deliberate exclusion of specific journalists, newspapers, media outlets, or other observers from political discussions, debates, and forums, designed to minimise scrutiny, accountability, and critical examination of policies, statements, and allegiances. Faraging operates as a mechanism of control, ensuring that dissenting perspectives are systematically marginalised and that public discourse is filtered through a narrowly sanctioned lens. By denying access to independent voices, this practice cultivates a self-reinforcing political echo chamber, erecting what might be described as a glass ceiling of concrete and steel: impenetrable, opaque, and unyielding. It generates a form of institutionalised tunnel vision in which ideas, criticisms, and alternative viewpoints are not merely overlooked but actively obstructed, thereby concentrating power, shaping narratives, and entrenching ideological conformity within the corridors of authority. In effect, Faraging transforms the public sphere into a curated environment where debate exists in form but is severely constrained in substance, creating a controlled theatre of political perception.
Person 1: "Did you catch Farage at Capitol Hill, comparing the UK’s 'free speech' to North Korea?"

Person 2: "Yeah, and Raskin didn’t hold back, calling him out for being a Trump sycophant, a fan of Putin, and also noted how he restricted media access during his visit. Basically, making sure critics couldn’t scrutinise him properly."

Person 1: "I suppose he just doesn’t enjoy answering awkward questions."

Person 2: "Or, more likely, he’s perfecting the art of Faraging, curating who gets to challenge him so no one sees the gaping holes in his own ideology. Comparing the UK to North Korea while quietly restricting free speech around yourself… that’s next-level irony."

corporate foraging 

Corporate foraging is the act of scavenging meals in an office environment, thereby sustaining oneself purely on the food leftovers from lunch-time meetings. Frequently practiced by single adult males, but also observed within a wide range of demographics.
“Hey Andy, did you see the meeting with the two dudes on the third floor? They have three pizzas in there! There is now way they will eat all of that pizza – I think it is time for a little corporate foraging. We will need to be swift, because pizza is a hot commodity and the Marketing Scanvengers have been active on the third floor this week”

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!
