Slangapore

The unofficial linguistic dimension of Singapore where every MRT station, neighbourhood, shopping mall, and hawker centre can be transformed into a pun, meme, or made-up Singlish word. It is also the natural habitat of people who create cursed local slang such as Bishamn You, Damnpines You, Woodlandsn't, and Dhoby Ghaunt. Visitors to Slangapore may experience uncontrollable laughter, eye-rolling, and a sudden urge to rename every MRT station.
Bro, don't ask him for directions. He's from Slangapore — somehow Clementi became 'Clementi-n't' and now nobody knows where we are.
After spending five minutes in Slangapore, I started saying 'Buangkooked' and 'Outramrage' unironically.

Singapore 

A place where grades matter but your mental health doesn't

2: Ah, I just came from Singapore.
1: Ah! I'm so sorry for you! Well wishes!

Singaporean 

People from Singapore, an independent island in Southeast Asia. To distinguish Singaporeans from other people, just listen to them speak. If they speak Singlish, a 'dialect' in Singapore (Mixture of English, Chinese dialects, Malay and even Tamil!), they definitely are Singaporean.
British: Would you like a slice of cake?

Singaporean: (very quickly) U wan kek anot?

Singapore Sunset Saffron 

What you call a color when then color doesn't matter at all, and you just want to sound falsely urbane or sophisticated. From an episode of the Love Boat when Capt. Stubing proudly paints his cabin "Singapore Sunset Saffron," which Gopher dismissingly calls "yellow."
"Dude, what color iPhone case should I get?" "Personally, I'd go with the Singapore Sunset Saffron this time of year."

Singapore 

It's hot. It's crowded. It's small. It's home.
Guy 1: So, is Singapore a city, town, state, or country?
Guy 2: All of the above.

Singapore 

Math educators’ promised land that combines the best practices of math education from the East and the West—one such concoction is the “model method,” the problem-solving heuristic that has had global appeal, especially among homeschoolers in the US, in solving challenging word problems that would traditionally need formal algebra for their solutions.
Due to their stand on democracy and freedom of speech, a number of American educators have stood firm in rejecting Singapore math, although they acknowledged that the math curriculum of the “fine” city is a superior one compared to those used in a number of US states in helping to raise the quantitative literacy of the students.

Football Association of Singapore 

A joke.
The Football (soccer) Association of Singapore (FAS) is basically the worst organization in the history of sports. You could probably hire a cockroach as it's CEO and there would be no difference. Similarly, if you replace the whole football team with slugs, you would get the same results as they are getting now. The only difference is that slugs can't smoke.
Coach 1: "My football team has just lost it's 50th game in a row"
Coach 2: "Ah, at least it is still better than the Football Association of Singapore"

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!
