Raki
Anise flavored alcoholic beverage from Turkey similar to the Greek Ouzo, and Arabic Arak, but is less sweet and therefore tastes better (in my opinion)
Similar types of drinks are popular elsewhere in the Mediterranean e.g sambuca and pastis. But there's nothing like a good Raki, aka. Lion's milk.
Best enjoyed by the sea, with a view of the Bosporus at sunset, with a mezze selection (the minimum requirement being melon and feta cheese), fish, good music and good friends.

'Rakı-Balık'
'Rakı-Balık' literally means Rakı-Fish in Turkish. 'Rakı' being the most popular alcoholic beverage in Turkey, it is also a popular drink in north shores of Mediterranean; it is 'Uzo' in Greece, 'Grappa' in Italy and 'Pastis' in France. It is an anise-flavoured spirit. In Turkey Rakı is mostly consumed with food, almost like a ritual. You go to a 'meyhane' (tavern) sit down at a table, first you are served 'meze' (tapas), then the main course (usually a grilled meat, chicken or fish) accompanied by several types of green salad, after that the dessert, and in some cases a glass of beer to 'polish'. Finally, 'Rakı-Balık' refers to a 'Rakı' ritual where you eat grilled fish as the main course. If you 'do' 'Rakı-Balık' they will serve you warm tahini halva as a dessert, it is a tradition. Turns out that tahini helps dealing with the heavy-metals that comes with the fish and detoxifies the liver. Also eating halva is a funeral tradition in Turkey, so it is also memorizing the dead fish you just ate ; )

Raki
Beautiful,unique girl with a big heart. Mess with her and you will regret it. She can hold a grudge but will receive you with open arms if you man up. She can sleep for a whole day but when she's hyped up... she's hyped up! She can be a little extra but the people who appreciate her don't mind it.

womp
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!
