Sticktionary 

A highly specific dictionary catered to words revolving around the "stick language", arranged to parallel marijuana terminology by using forst-based,wood-related terms.

There are currently several words found within the continuously growing sticktionary. For example a marijuana cigarette is a "stick", and smaller one is a "twig". Additionally, sticks and twings come from trees, which is a large accumulation of the wondeful substance.

Furethermore, since a "cord" is 128 cubic feet of wood stacked tightly, 4' high by 4' wide by 8' long (4X4X8), and a "rick" or "rack" is the amount of firewood stacked 4' by 8' by one row of the length of the stick, these terms can be applied to parallel an Ounce(Oz) and half Ounce(1/2 OZ) of weed.

Clearly, a lumberjack cuts trees, chops the wood and bundles it in chords or ricks; hence the lumberjack is in essence the stick drugdealer.

Once a chord, rick or rack is obtained from the lumberjack, a fire is created and the sticks are burned. Occasionally, a "forest-fire" is created when multiple sticks are buring within a close vicinity. Often the people who handle or burn the sticks are known as loggers.
The following conversation is based on words coming from the sticktionary.

"Hey Mike, should we burn a stick before going to the party"?

"Sure, let me call the lumberjack, see if he can chop down some trees and stack us a chord, then we'll be set for a few days"

"Wonderful. We could even start a forest-fire of sorts at the party since their will be lots of loggers there."

"Great! Let the sticking begin!"

A generally undesirable trait to try to get rid of, that is caused by pressure in combination with metal to metal contact. Because metal is porous, when the metal is dry or the pressure exceeds the capacity of the lubricant, two pieces of metal occupy the same space causing "stoppage" and "sticking". As force increases, the sticking breaks until it sticks again. Both inconvenience as well as metal wear are the result.

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!
