McCarthyist Zombies in green 

In the Philippines, they are known as supporters of presidential candidate Gilbert "Gibo" Teodoro. While they keep on telling the world that they practice positive campaigning and abhor mudslinging Gibo, they are the best definition of oxymoron as they do the exact opposite - they do character assassination in the form of red scare, an archaic practice which the late Joseph McCarthy popularized in the United States in the 1950s. This species was discovered in Facebook a few days before the Philippine national elections.
These McCarthyist Zombies in green are very supportive of eliminating activists in the Philippines based on how they behave on Facebook.

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!
