Engineering things out of thin air. A conjunction between the words imaginary and engineering. Basically used to describe how people first say that something will be made or done, then actually get down to doing it.
A classic example of imagineering in action is how America is "dealing" with its financial crisis by just making more money without logically thinking about all of the consequences that will follow. Tsk tsk America, you be fuckin up.
to both imagine and create something that is new. The new creation must be tangible though which is in fact the key point of this term.
Credit to Lyndon Barends who imagineered the term
the creation of a container in which lightning is stored (just an "off the cuff" idea but yet to create!)
in fact all inventions where imagineered :-)
Imagineering is fused from the words Imagination and Engineering.
The first referenced use of the word Imagineering comes from an article dated 2nd May 1947 in the Portsmouth (Ohio) Times. The article describes the work of a top-notch commercial illustrator Arthur C. Radebaugh (1906-1974)
imagineering is what we do when we use our imagination in the non phicisal world to engineer something tangible in the phisical world
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.
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!
