bitchy resting face 

A bitchy alternative to the usual blank look most people have. This is a condition affecting the facial muscles, suffered by millions of women worldwide. People suffering from bitchy resting face (BRF) have the tendency look hostile and/or judgemental at rest. Their expression does not necessarily reflect how they are feeling inside. BRF can ruin friendships and first impressions, start fights and kill an atmosphere.
"I think Deborah hates me!!", "Nah don't worry Susie, she just has a nasty bitchy resting face"

"That customer just lectured me on customer service and threatened to take her business elsewhere! What did I do wrong?" "Prob just your BRF".

bitchy resting face 

When a woman's default, or neutral, facial expression is rather bitchy and mean looking in nature. She can be happy, nice and even in a great mood, but she'll still have that look. They can't help it.

People would usually think that women with the BRF syndrome hate them or something, even though they don't. So don't ever think that - 99% of them may love you even.

Older women are the worst offenders when it comes to this syndrome.
- Oh my God, what is up with Flora? Just saw her today and she was giving me and my family the ugly look.

- Nah don't worry, she has the case of the bitchy resting face syndrome. That's how they naturally look when they're at a neutral expression.

Next day:

- Fucking Flora...why did she give us that ugly bitchy face aga......

- OMG ENOUGH ALREADY! I JUST I TOLD YOU WHY!

Day 3:

- Have you heard about Flora giving people ugly faces? Wonder why?

- *sigh*

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!
