Not Working 

Nope. I said that I stopped doing that EXPLICITLY. "She's fucking the retard and everyone is passing off their hours on to me and trying to make me do all the work to make their lives easier... I'm just going to stop working.... I want it to be a slow-burn... I'm going to turn down the tap until they fire me..."
Hym "I wasn't not working. I stopped working. They work not working. Instead of working they fucked the retard and when they were done fucking the retard, I would show up early, work for 15 hours, and do their job in addition to my own."

The hood it not working 

What Thai restaurants post on their door to signify a temporary closure of the restaurant. If the manager is out, hood translates to 'head' thus giving more definition to the concept itself. Additionally, the 'it' is a philosophical reference to the state the 'hood' is in. To fully comprehend such sign, read it as "The HEAD IS not working"
Manager/owner is out of town on business for a few days and there is nobody to take over the job. Restaurant will post sign reading: The hood it not working"

It's not working

Getting me to take a hint is not this working. Stop trying to use this to control me. You are doing it only because you want to make a point about rape and in doing so you aren't doing anything other than revealing your own pathology about it. It's pathetic that THE RAPE-PORN GUY has a healthier relationship with rape than you do.
Hym "No. Don't let her fool you into thinking that me doing something I said I wouldn't do somehow constitutes 'this working.' You are going to let a petty childish imbecile drive my life directly into one of your kids and all over the fact that you let an idiot convince you that is some kind of tug of war. So it's not working. I just haven't murdered your kids yet. She just wants to rape me. I said I don't want this to be used to guide me into a life I don't want so she has convinced you to go along with it. She needs a therapist to deal with her rape victim trauma and not 'to have control of a guy who said things she doesn't like about rape.' Fold or lose another kid. Listen to not-me already got them killed. You tried to do it without involving me because you don't like that I involved other people."

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!
