Ex footballer and football pundit/commentator for the BBC's Match of the Day. Born 9th June 1962 on a ferry crossing the River Mersey. Won shit loads with Liverpool FC during the 70s and 80s but nothing with the rep of Ireland or northern Ireland. It came to light in 1990 that his father Dougal was a submarine captain in the Irish navy during world war 2 and that he had torpedoed the Bismark and sank it (sunday sport). His Mother Mary was rumoured to be the inspiration for Paul McCartneys song Let it be. Other than that the guy's a totally opinionated cock who knows fuck all about anything apart from dodgy thatched cottage type hair styles, telling crap jokes and manlove fantasies about Gary Lineker
Gary Lineker " Lets go over live to the emirates stadium with our commentators John Motson and that twat Mark Lawrenceson"
John Motson " Thanks Gary, the crowd are really fired up for this one today "
Mark Lawrenceson " Yes Motty I think its gunner be a good one...ha ha ha "
John Motson " for fuck sake Lawro take the fucking day off "
Mark Lawrenceson " ha ha ha ....gunner be good....ha ha ha"
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!
