Greenism 

A rising trend in 2021 is Greenism which is the diet of only eating sustainably sourced food.

Similar to being a Flexitarian, Greenism is only eating meat and other non-plant foods when it has been sourced ethically and locally. This also correlates to the vegetables and plant foods. Not only does following a Greenism Lifestyle mean you are helping local farmers with their lively hoods, it also means you aren't creating a carbon footprint (and deforestation) from ordering avocados that were harvested in Brazil!
Mandy is vegan and thinks she is helping save the planet. She likes tofu but she doesn't know that soybeans are fueling heavy industrial processes and is actually killing the planet. Mandy would be better off taking up a greenism diet, and just buying local.

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!
