A non-technical photographic term for bouncing the light from a flash unit off of a nearby wall or other neutral-colored object in order to diffuse and redirect the light. It produces far more natural looking light (and shadows) than firing a flash directly at the subject.
While shooting the couple's first dance, the wedding photographer swiveled the head of his flash to one side so that he was foofing them rather than blasting them with hard light.

Vegan eel footing 

Vegan eel footing is a term commonly used referencing the act of making love towards your grandparents dog at exactly 1:30 am to 1:33 am. This term is mostly used in South Africa, from where it originated from on January 23 1997. Over the past few years, this word has really taken a massive increase in the skateboarding community, as they say it quite frequently. Skateboarders have made the use of the term increase by at least 87% over the course of 3 years.
Boy: Oh man! That was the best vegan eel footing we’ve had in a while.

Dog: *barks in anus pain*

Dog: *anus bleeds*

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!
