Parable Of The Onion 

Somewhere at the start of Shrek 1, Donkey is being a dick and Shrek stars chatting shit about onions. He tells Donkey that "there is more to ogres than people think" and says that ogres are like onions, they have layers. This is called the 'Parable Of Onion'.

(DISCLAIMER: DO NOT USE IN R.S EXAMS. YOU WILL NOT GET THE MARKS)
"Shrekism is a religion based upon the 'Parable Of The Onion'"

"Ogres have layers! Onions have layers. You get it? We both have layers." - The Great Shrek (Peace be upon him).

The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe 

Released in 2022 for Steam, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo, The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe is an updated release and sequel to 2013’s The Stanley Parable. Well known for being a meta deconstruction of video game choices and free will, a British narrator (played by Kevan Brighting) guides Stanley to freedom. You will make choices, you will not make choices. The end is never the end is never the end is never (repeat infinum)
This is the story of a game called The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe. One day, it gained an entry on Urban Dictionary and was received with reviews from those on the website. The quote is an example of how the narrator narrates the game, and as such should be read in his voice.

payable on death 

A type of bank account that will leave all of its contents to the specified heir upon the death of the account's original owner. This keeps the money within the account out of probate.

The band "P.O.D." took this term, applied it to the death of Yahshuah (Jesus Christ), and used it for their name. The contents of a payable-on-death account loosely symbolize The Messiah's atonement for our sin.
Mikhail: "You have a payable-on-death bank account?"
Phineas: "No, I'll be sitting in Hell laughing my ass off at the people going through the trouble of proving the authenticity of my will."
Mikhail: "...You're a dick..."
Phineas: "lol"

Mikhail: "What does P.O.D.'s name mean?"
Phineas: "It stands for Payable on Death. It's a type of bank account that allows its contents to be passed on to somebody else when the owner dies without the money going into probate. They correlate this with Jesus' atonement for our sin, you fucking dumbass. Jeez, why the hell do I even hang around you? If I wanted to hear dumb questions, I'd go to a third grade math lesson and listen to kids ask why two plus two equals four."
Mikhail: "...You're a dick..."
Phineas: "lol"

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!
