prepster 

Really a chimera of two existing groups, the prepster is someone most likely raised in the suburbs and very preppy, that moves to a very hipster centered city (Brooklyn, Portland, Austin), and due to scene exposure adopts certain hipster trends whilst retaining the preppy spirit. Specific examples are skinny jeans with boat shoes, or skinny Nantucket red jeans, cardigans, and keds (although arguably of preppy origin, now adopted by the hipster). The prepster has the ability to flow seamlessly between the two scenes, adopting the traditional seersucker and polos while home, and looking very trendy at loft parties in Williamsburg. This emerging scene has been officially typified by Brooks Brothers new Black Sheep line, designed by Thom Browne, and the new J. Crew Men's store being created with help from Jack Spade. The major difference between the prepster and hipster is money and cleanliness. Drug use also shifts from pot to coke.
Taylor: Hey, have you seen my seersucker shorts, I need to go sailing tomorrow with the rents.
Thom: Yeah, they're right next to your skinny jeans from Uniqlo and your really dirty tee shirt.
Taylor: Dope, thanks.
Thom: Dude, you're such a prepster

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!
