A particularly extreme Mercury Retrograde period, such that even trivial communication fails spectacularly. Packages are delivered incorrectly, e-mailed messages are lost to the electronic void, and civilization crumbles as confused citizens squint, confused and helpless, at text messages that were sent hours late to the wrong person.
A. S. Mercury retrograde ends tonight 11:21 pm PST
Amy A. IMHO, this one has been particularly "retrogrady"!
Chris H. @Amy - I'd go so far as to say "retrotarded".
When someone is remote control retarded. Sometimes taking between 1-2 minutes to locate desired button. Often wrong buttons are selected much to the disapproval of other fellow TV watchers.
retrotardation being an outdated loser with zero knowledge of current events,or a loser with no technical knowledge who like to do things the oldway because it's just easier.
I'm suffering from a case of retrotardation,My name is Allen and I think my email address is my website!
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!
