Semantic Satiation

semantic satiation

Semantic satiation is a psychological phenomenon where repeating a word or phrase many times causes it to temporarily lose its meaning, making it sound like a meaningless collection of sounds. This occurs because repeated activation of a neural pathway to a word's meaning can cause temporary fatigue or inhibition, leading the brain to re-regulate its focus and temporarily cease to process the word's meaning.
I kept repeating the word 'crowded' over and over for a minute, and by the end, it just sounded like a weird noise—total semantic satiation!

She’s a situation! 

An overly exuberant verbal ejaculation used when a pulchritudinous beauty unexpectedly presents herself wearing clothing that simultaneously reveals and conceals exactly what she is workin with.

This is seldom perceived as a complement by the woman; yet, it is an absolutely true representation of how she makes a thirsty man feel.

You just have to embrace the cultural paradox here.
Daaaaaaaaaaaayuuuuummmmm!!!! She is 100% natural woman; not a bit of plastic! She’s a situation!!!!!

an on going situation 

an on going situation — a masterful piece of urban understatement. To say that you have “an ongoing situation” is saying that the shit has hit the fan and there is neither an end to the shit in sight; nor, any sign of the fan failing to rotate.
The health department has to close the rid shack down until further notice. The vermin problem had become an on going situation.

Situationship

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!
