gorification 

originating in the urdu word for a white person i.e. gora, gorification refers to the progressive erasure of indian cultural traits from a person of indian origin in favour of american or british cultural traits.
signs of gorification include the pronounciation of a traditionally indian name in such a manner that it almost sounds like an english name! very low tolerance levels for spices, especially chilli, decline or absence of any knowledge of the names of the various dishes that made up your staple diet until you were 16, the declining ability to eat with your hands and the absolute inability to eat rice with your hands, the idea that bollywood movies still don't show kissing and the notion that watching a bollywood movie is akin to a novel cultural experience.

"you can't eat rice with your hands, aisha? (who prefers to call herself asia) your gorification is almost complete!"

to become gorified is to simultaneously be de-desified. ones levels of gorification are inversely proportional to ones levels of desfication/desication

gorification is a synonym for de-desification/de-desication

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!
