The magnificent third largest city of Greece located in the Peloponnese and a lively port to Italy. A wonderful place to visit in winter thanks to its enormous, colourful and phantasmagoric carnival. Famous for its Mavrodaphne, the amazing hard to resist nectar like local wine. Regretably neglected by foreign tourists in the summer who rush to island resorts. Also, a city whose authorities do a great job to hide its natural beauty and dig its potential by forgetting its privileged coastal position.
Tom: this February we will travel to Patras for the Carnival.
Brenda:Did you know that Patras is the cultural capital of Europe this year?
Tom (surprised): Really!??! This place is full of surprises, we only realized that its beaches are so wonderful a year ago, on our way to the islands.
Brenda: That's right, these people have done such a poor job advertising their marvellous place! Anyway, have fun there, get over your hangover and make sure you bring some Mavrodaphne back home. I love it!

Crystal Parasite 

Someone that grows their entire personality off of the lifestyle or personality of someone who is already famous, or some cultural phenomenon, basically anything popular, in a vain attempt to get famous themselves.
For example, any YouTuber that has over 100k subscribers, or maybe even less.
Sometimes this works, but most of the time they just come off as a parasite, leeching off of the success of the person or TV Show or whatever, the "crystal" they "parasite" off of.
Thus they seem instead like talentless hacks with no worth of their own besides what they echo from their "crystal".
Essentially they are a clone of the person, but worse. Much worse.
Person 1: Ugh, that guy's such a crystal parasite, always leeching off of Merg's success.
"that guy": What's up guys, welcome back, to *insert game that Merg's already played here*.

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.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
