Subtitle Zealot 

An extreme anime nut (see otaku) who refuses to watch any anime cartoon with anything other than the original Japanese voice acting. Anything English on their screen other than subtitles will immediately induce a screaming, whining fit. Claims that even an excellent English dub somehow ruins the original "integrity" or "beauty" of the series. May have some substance to their argument, as anime is often "dumbed down" or censored for North American audiences, but any decent points are drowned out by their yelling about subtitles, as if they were Satan himself and were violently raping their mother in front of them at the time.

Often may make an attempt to learn Japanese so they can do away with subtitles altogether. May also attend an anime convention, cosplay, or enjoy reading MegaTokyo. Extremely vocal nutcase which should generally be avoided at all costs.
"Hey, Cowboy Bebop is on Cartoon Network."
"AAAAHHH A DUB GET THAT FILTH OFF THE TV SCREEN."
"Get out of my house, subtitle zealot!"

subtitle anger 

When you get so angry at something, you can't form words strong enough to describe it, so you just end up vibrating your hands/body in absolute rage. Common causes of subtitle anger include other people's hypocrisy and ignorance.
"When that guy said "You're not special for reading the Great Gatsby, we all went to high school." and then when someone quoted a line from it to him, he said "I haven't read the book.".. I suffered from subtitle anger.

Subtitle syndrome 

If you have 'subtitle syndrome' you can't stop reading the subtitles on screen in a show/movie despite being fluent in the spoken language.
It can be pretty annoying and distracting when trying to enjoy a movie.
"I'm sure I could've appreciated the visuals of the movie some more if I didn't have subtitle syndrome"

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
