Moranism 

A method of grading, originally instituted by Patrick Moran. It is not based on the 100-point system, but rather on a point per question on a particular assignment, project, or examination. For each incorrect answer, a "point," or letter grade, is taken off of the final grade. For example, a 25/25 would be an A+, a 24/25 would be an A, a 23/25 would be an A-, etc. The grade can go below the normal F standard. The next letter grade after F would be, "G." Usually, it stops there, mainly due to the fact that no one has ever gotten below a "G" grade. The system is rarely used due to its extreme nature, and when used by the teacher, it is only conducted on very rare occasions.
"My teacher believes in Moranism. She told us that it makes us work harder. Now that I got our first test back, I agree with her."

Moranism 

Not just another 'ism', it's a way of life, an ideology; some even label it a cult. Comprised of toxic individuals with extremely low self-esteem, its members dismiss proper education in favor of spending excessive time online, creating fake accounts, writing ridiculous comments, and trolling others. This behavior stems from a profound disinterest in their own lives. They believe that confidence is not cultivated internally but is instead derived from within their small group. They engage in what they perceive as 'intellectual' activities to bolster their self-worth, yet their attempts often come off as pretentious and lacking in genuine intelligence or humor. Those around them often cringe in embarrassment when they speak, a testament to their absurdity.

Reverse Rick Moranis 

When a girl puts on a strap-on penis and anally penetrates a man with shaggy hair. It's called Reverse Rick Moranis for the reversal of sex roles, the shaggy hair which provides the girl with something to hold onto, and the high pitch of the mans voice after the act (similar to Rick Moranis' voice all the time).
Scott: Man, Nick you don't sound too good.
Nick: It was Katie's birthday, so I let her Reverse Rick Moranis me.

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!
