A large terrestrial mammal with a lisp, often associated with the hippopotamus family. They're most commonly found by naive travelers of East Africa mistaking a porpith for a hissing snake.
Jim: "Hey, did you hear that hissing sound coming from that family of hippopotamuses?"

Steve: "Yeah, that was probably just a porpith. They're more common than you think."

Jim: "Um, what's a porpith Steve?"

Steve: "Ah! Funny you should ask... look it up on unbandictionary.com!"

pornithologist 

Jermaine: Most ornithologists hold those heavy binoculars with two hands, don't they?
Ace: Yeah, and most of them look at birds of the feathered type too. Not pornithologists, though - they have, erm, a different focus...

Pornithology 

The popular hobby of males of all ages involving the spotting of the female species or "birds". Pornithology is strictly limited towards the spotting of those of an attractive nature with whom you as spotter would like to perform acts of a pornographic nature as the spotting of those who do not qualify defiles the purpose of the hobby. The spotting of genuine subjects should be accompanied with thoughts and aims only of an extremely perverse sexual nature.
Is that the lesser spotted far eastern bukkake lover? No I am quite mistaken it is the more commonly seen Eastern European blonde big tit and look there are lots of them -fantastic! Let's see if we can catch one. Not to be confused with flying animal spotting or "ornithology" who gives a **** about that? Pornithology. Enjoy.

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!
