A general term referring to the awareness of fall being in the air; also, an unspeakable association alluding to the fall / autumn season.
Similar to Americana in the way that one cherishes all things Halloween and of autumn. For example, seeing Halloween decorations in Dollar Stores and Wal-Mart in September, noticing the changing of leaves color, watching scary movies, going to Halloween parties, et cetera.
Unfortunately, Halloween(icana) is usually quickly overshadowed by the concentration of the unbelievably marketable and commercial Christmas.
Joe: Mark, summer isnt over yet...its only August 29th, why do you have Halloween decorations on your house already?
Mark: Fuck you man, Ive got a serious case of Halloweenicana!
A person who loves Halloween above all holidays. Halloween is their Christmas, Easter, Valentines and St.Patrick's day all-in-one. Of course this person probably dresses mostly in black, could be kinda scary themselves until you get to know them, makes cool props, decorates their yard and home like a haunted house and has no problem coming up with the most creative and original costumes ever to show up at a party.
(Definitely an interesting person to know in my humble opinion!!)
"My neighbor is a huge Halloweenie! His yard looks like Night of the Living Dead every October!"
Someone who dresses up as someone/something based on an arcane cultural reference that no one would get, for the sole purpose of showing off how much of an intellectual they are
Guy1: So who are you dressed as?
Guy2: I am dressed as <insert unpronounceable name>
Guy1: Uh...
Guy2: Its from <insert arcaneplay/novel/movie>. I can't believe you have never heard of it.
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
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.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
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!
