Something that is amazing. Referring to the Greek goddess Athena and her temple in Greece.

Supposedly started in the mid 2000's by teens in the UK but only recently has caught on by American media and other places around the world. It refers to the Greek goddess, Athena, and her temple in Greece. It was given the meaning of awesomeness and amazement because she is one of the most loved of the goddesses for her bravery and wisdom. It is mostly used in teen slang but has been quickly and quietly moving up to the main social media. Mostly used in the Indie scene.

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!
