foutrage 

\fˈau̇t-ˌrāj\
noun
1. a feeling of extreme anger because of something that is perceived as bad, hurtful, or morally wrong but when viewed in a rational context is really harmless, benign and insignificant.

2. a combination of the words False and Outrage used to describe unjustified anger or resentment over a petty issue.
Examples
* Starbucks received much negative criticism towards their minimalist redesign of the 2016 holiday cups. For those in the real world, the vitriol that ensued was nothing more than foutrage over a coffee cup.
*Fox News' annual portrayal of "the war on Christmas" is spun as a threat to Christianity but in reality it is merely manufactured foutrage for the purpose of delegitimizing anything that conflicts with their conservative agenda.

Origin: American English, from combining false- (fake, not true), outrage- (anger).
First use: 21st century

No School Foster Glocester!

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
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.

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!
