Hyphenated-Names 

For the past several decades women have continually pressed men into going along with their new ways of thinking, most of it being pure bullshit. Numerous sex partners prior to landing some chump into marriage (typically the number they claim they’ve had can in reality be multiplied by at least five), promiscuity after marriage, demanding men respect their individuality, nagging men to be more sensitive to their needs, demanding equal pay (which is fine if they’re actually doing the same job), getting tattoo’s like a tramp stamp or whatever. They have also adapted the notion that having a bitchy, outspoken attitude is to be tolerated by a prospective male. Most expect a prospective mate to have a good income and be willing to accept them with whatever their pay grade may be, as well as pamper them financially. Generally an available woman over 30 is available because guy(s) out there are just plain fed up with her bullshit. Women now believe they’re able to retain their identity (of a single woman) or individuality by demanding they keep their maiden name and hyphenate it to their married name. Some even refuse to accept his last name at all.
Hyphenated-Names: Any man that willingly buys into this situation on a more permanent basis like marriage is a damn fool and deserves what he gets and will most likely pay both financially and emotionally eventually. Wise up guys! You don’t need a wife, especially one that will bust your balls with her feminist philosophies. It’s a no win situation you’ll most likely regret later. Spend your money on something you’ll really appreciate like a great car. At least with the car, you’ll know how many times it’s been around the block.

Statistically it has become a fact that Caucasian men are now opting not to get married due to what women have become and can foresee all the problems their predecessors have encountered. What kind of mother are these squawky bitches going to make to your children?! Personally, I have one response to a woman that says she would require a hyphenated last name: FUCK – YOU!

Hypothecate

A word smart people use when they mean hypothecate, and a word stupid people who want to look smart (read: Investment Bankers) use when they mean hypothetical.

A classic marker of when you're talking to an idiot who doesn't know it yet; like when people say "pacifically" when they mean "specifically" or "expresso" when they mean "espresso".

#Can'tFixStupid
Investment Banker: “Can you give me some hypothecated numbers?”

Investor: "No, you douche, that's not a real thing. Go read a book."

De-hypothecation 

The reversal of re-hypothecation leveraging. When the loss in value of the underlying assets in the brokerage's account forces the reversal of when a broker pledges hypothecated client owned securities in a margin account to secure brokerage funds. The result being possible disappearance of the commingled funds from the client's account.
The bank's President could not account for his customers funds because their rehypothecated accounts had experienced de-hypothecation and as a result their value was no longer held by the brokerage. (i.e. 1. MF Global/JPM. 2. City of London and Euro collapse.)

hyphenated American 

The other poster of this term has obviously not realized that white americans are, technically, "Caucasian-Americans" just as black americans are, technically, "African-Americans". Pandemics of political correctness are because of people like him/her: ahem, the racists. Educate yourself before forming harmful world views, please. And if you don't want to take the time to do that, then shut the fuck up.
Everyone in America is a hyphenated American.

-----------
tips:

You can identify racist people if they say non-whites "take up space".

You can identify uneducated people if they use the term "pussification" over the age of 22.

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!
