Button Down Shirt Energy 

Not quite as bad as "small dick energy," but sort of a middle ground. No swag, harmless, forgetable, sexually invisible, insecure men who wear button down shirts as general fashion have this kind of "energy." Sort of a beta male.

Kara: "Why not go on a date with Brad?"
Susie: "Ew. He's got real button down shirt energy."

Striped shirt girl energy 

~Somebody who vocally stands up for members of the LGBTQ+ community when in extremely large groups where it would be easier to just let the moment silently pass unchallenged.

This phrase came about when a BYU student (wearing a striped shirt) spoke up in a religion lecture. The prof was going on about how the world is transgressing the laws of marriage. homegirl raises her hand “well what about Eve? She had to choose between two commandments in order to keep the one of them—what if that’s true for others?” & prof tries to sidestep like “oh yeah I’m sure—like Nephi &—“ BUT SHES LIKE “No, I mean like the LGBTQ community-“ but prof interrupts her to say that people who “struggle with same-sex attraction have a difficult situation” but homegirl straight up LAUGHS! so he says “& I do say struggle, because it is a struggle” & goes on to say how much he “respects those who still keep the law of chastity” Homegirl is not having it. She interrupts him back & says that she believes the LGBTQ community could be like Eve & how they’re supposed to know which commandment they’re supposed to keep (marriage or chastity)

There is an interruption from a male student who is attempting to tell her ‘this is not the place for this’ & she should leave. Prof then gives the typical “we don’t have all the answers” bit, to which homegirl is like ”EXACTLY so we can’t tell them how to live & we’re supposed to love one another” & IMMEDIATELY after that the bell rang & everybody got the hell out of there
Person 1: did you see that video where the Tennessee county official was making homophobic comments?

Person 2: oh the one where Commissioner Warren Hurst said "We got a queer running for president, if that ain't about as ugly as you can get.”

1: yeah, and then that lady that stood up after his comments and yelled that was bullshit and then left

2: yeah, That woman had MAJOR striped shirt girl energy <3

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!
