paleoliberal
Old school, pre-1960's style liberal; center-left populist.
A paleoliberal typically espouses the following:
1. protection of the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively
2. protection of the interests of the underdog against the whims of the powerful.
3. supports the right to individual privacy within reasonable limits; does not include abortion rights (see definition #2) or gay marriage, but does include keeping the government from snooping on your reading habits.
4. The right for minorities to be free from discrimination in employment, housing, public accomodations, etc., thus protecting their rights from the tyranny of the majority without diluting majority rule.
5. the inherent, affirmative right to vote and have your votes counted as you intended, without interference from fraudulently programmed voting machines designed to "flip" votes.
6. The right to life means the right to a decent life, for both born and unborn. Paleoliberals don't divorce the sanctity of life from the quality of life, unlike Christofascists or left-liberals.
7. May or may not support the death penalty, although I personally oppose it except for war criminals, deposed dictators, wartime traitors, and/or serial killers who pose an escape risk.
8. Embrace gender equity. Man and woman are to be treated as equals under the eyes of the law and their differences are to be respected, not derided.

Paleoliberal
Someone who's just like a hard-core right-winger, except they want people to believe that they thought about things and then came to this conclusion.
I was talking to a paleoliberal the other day, and somehow the conversation morphed into a heated debate about how African countries are poor because of lower average IQ. The fact that they blamed it on culture was no comfort.

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.
