Fratire
Fratire is the mode of dress traditionally accepted by fraternities, especially prevalent in the south. The definition of successful fratire is "conservative". This generally means solid colored polo shirts (never with popped collars), oxford style button downs, khakis or dock shorts, traditional blazers, dock shoes, driving mocs or loafers, and d-ring or club belts. This kind of clothing will generally ensure full frat potential, however bleached or gelled hair or any kind of jewelery will overpower even the frattiest of fratire and make you look like a douche. In addition, true fratire must come from fine brands such as those below:
Polo (the horse)
Brooks Brothers (golden fleece)
Cole Haan
Vineyard Vines (the whale)
Southern Proper
Sperry
Lacoste (don't overdo it on this one - the crocodile)
Costa del Mar
(this isn't a comprehensive list, just the basics)
Also, one should never wear all of one brand. It screams "trying too hard"
Things to avoid:
Abercrombie and Fitch
American Eagle
Gap
Aeropostale
Cargo shorts
puka shells
flip flops
non-Costa sunglasses
jean shorts (jorts)
anything trendy
anything your forefathers would cringe at

Definitely the original word to the shortened word that is defined on the site as forgays. Forgaisey is pronounced with the extra "e" sound at the end and can be heard in some Jay-Z lyrics. It basically is used to describe something thats wack or someone that does something madd retarded or is just plain acting up.

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!
