An offshoot of the popular "lol" acronym, ILOLAW stands for "inappropriately laughing out loud at work." It is used to describe situations where something done, said, or witnessed causes you to laugh out loud so intensely while at your place of occupation that others take notice. Reactions from coworkers or bosses to an ILOLAW can be positive or negative.

The first "L" in ILOLAW can also mean "laughs," "laughed," or "laugh" depending on how ILOLAW is used in a sentence.

Ilola is a lovely girl who has an open mind. Her kindness towards others shows the emotional soul she harnesses inside of her. Although she tries to deny it, she is a sensitive person with a tendency to care deeply of other people's opinions. But simultaneously doesn't give a shit and likes to embrace the other side of her personality which can be brave and bold. Ilola makes the world brighter just by being in it. If you ever meet an Ilola, she's a keeper. When in doubt, Ilola can provide advice although she begs you not to trust her completely even though she is right all along. She's one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Of a forgiving nature, but if you fuck with her she won't be an idiot.
'I just met a girl called Ilola,'
'Wow, Ilolas are the best people in the world! Better keep in touch, you'll need her.'

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!
