The Inquisition 

Your bitch-ass Parents.

Maybe you're in the middle of making your bed, cleaning your room or some other dumb shit that your parents constantly force down your throat, and you're feeling a bit bored. What's the logical solution? PROCRASTINATE. So, you're browsing memes and all around feeling happy, when out of the blue, The Inquisition knocks on your door. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Hide your beloved procrastination under something, they'll hear it. (even if they're going deaf. Seriously, how can someone be deaf and hear quiet shit like that?) Also applies to your Search History.
Last night I was minding my own business browsing reddit and The Inquisition came and fuckin' stole my laptop!

Fuck The Inquisition.

The Inquisition should mind their own business, I know I do.

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!
