A Rossism is an error in speech in which a figure of speech or sentence is jumbled or confused, yet still intelligible.

It was named after Ross O'Donovan, part of the Let's Play duo Steam Train, which is a spin-off of another Let's Play series called Game Grumps. Ross is well-known for accidentally jumbling up locutions.
Some examples for Rossisms:
"That train has sailed."
"It's like listening to a mirror."
"Don't count your chickens before they egg"
"How you going?"
"is rly good"

rossiterposting 

A tag created to warn others of a post by or related to James Rossiter.

His posts are most commonly found in the facebook page 'David Seymour Memes for Over-taxed Liberal Teens'.

The myth, the man, the legend spends his time "owning libtards", "crushing islam" and referencing Ben Shapiro (possibly his boyfriend), Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson constantly.

A rossiterpost may or may not try to brainwash you into believing that abortion is murder, a few links with lengthy videos may follow.

If you come across this man the best approach is to make sure he knows that you will never vote for Act. A rossiterpost will normally include no more than 500 words (that's an estimate not a promise).
Wow classic rossiterposting, he actually posted a 10 min video by Jordan Peterson lmao

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!
