Scott Sterling 

The Man. The Myth. The Legend
Scott Sterling's impeccable use of his face to block oncoming balls truly underscores his status as the man, the myth, the legend.

Sterling Archer 

Sterling Archer, AKA "Duchess", is all that is man. Not only is he the worlds best secret agent, but he is an accomplished cocksman. When he isn't saving the world or having sex with a beautiful women he is probably doing one of 11 things: Belittling his valet Woodhouse, telling Lana Cane to call Kenny Loggins because she's in the "Danger Zone", beating Pam with a dolphin, playing with an ocelot named Babou, referencing Bert Reynolds movies, attempting to include an air boat into his plans, using operational funds for personal expenses, drinking, saying "I swear to God I had something for this", buying turtlenecks, and answering his phone with the ringtone "MULATTO BUTTS!".
Man: Dude I just tapped this super hot chick and then threw her clothes out the window cause she couldn't poach me an egg.

Man#2: You totally just Sterling Archer'd her. Well done.

Sterling VA

Sterling VA is a town in Northern Virginia between Ashburn and Great Falls. It is divided in two by the highway, Route 7.

On the south side of Route 7 is Sterling Park: an old neighbourhood with old people. There are also immigrants, fat white people, and Bob Ross. Local government claims there is gang activity here. However, the only "gangs" are actually white kids that spray MS13 tags on fences.

On the north side is Cascades: a clone of Ashburn. Residents of Cascades will never tell you they live in Sterling, as that may associate them with Sterling Park. Instead, they invented the imaginary town of "Potomac Falls" in an attempt to fool you into thinking they live in Great Falls. Smack in between the McMansions of Cascades is Sugarland Run, the poorest part of Loudoun County. To keep the poor, brown residents of Sugarland separate from the rest of Cascades, developers put Sugarland in the same zip code as Sterling Park despite being nowhere near Sterling Park.
Man from Cascades: "Legendary painter Bob Ross lived here?" "Is that your best example of why Sterling Park is cool"

Man from Sterling Park: *sighs* "Yes....."
______

Girl in Lowes Island: "I don't want play laser tag in Sterling Park, it's so ghettoooooo"

Guy in Ashburn: "Why are you hating on Sterling Park? Your neighbours next-door in Sugarland Run are way sketchier!"
_______

---author annoyed great falls resident says it the best---
Man - "Where do you live?"

Lowes Islander "I live in Potomac Falls"

Man - "Oh! I like Sterling, that's a nice area"

Lowes Islander - (annoyed) "Nooo, Potomac Falls"

Man - "Bitch, you live in Sterling VA!" "Get over yourself!"

Sterling High School 

Sterling High School is a small school in South Jersey which consists from the biggest dykes to the largest fights. Sterling is a breeding ground for "knights", which are more or less inbred crackheads. Waking up to Sterling Knightline every morning and ending the day by getting your cheeks clapped by Mr. Redman for not having your ID. Our locks are attached to our lockers because someone used it as a weapon a few years ago, so it's safe to say we'll do whatever it takes to get out of actually doing work. The bathrooms were designed by a blind person on LSD apparently because it is so fucking unbearable just to take a shit. You have the snobish high class royalty of Stratford. They may seem quiet and socially awkward (which they are) but they are also secretly judging you quietly. You then have Laurel Springs which are just diet Stratford kids. You then have the crackheads of Somerdale. Most of the STDs in Sterling single handily come from Somerdale. You then have the crazy psychos of Magnolia. A strange combination of racist, sexist, braindead kids. The smart Magnolians went to PVI or CCTS just to get away from the "hoard". They are a bad influence to the towns around them, converting them to their cult like way of life. I have yet to actually meet someone from Hi-Nella. The sorriest excuse of a town, more or less a road with 3 brick apartments. Seriously though do you guys even exist? Oh.. and Go Knights!

- JRJ ;)
Kid 1: If I have to hear the High Ho Remix one more god damn time I am going to blow my brains out.

Kid 2: Yeah man, I wish I went to CCTS instead of Sterling High School.

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!
