Girl: I haven't been Taryning you!

Me: Yes you have. Your name might as well be Taryn!

taryne it up

(v.) A play on the phrase, “tearing it up”; in honor of Taryne Renee, co-host of the podcast Unsolicited Advice, the queen of awkward situations. When you’re in a awkward, uncomfortable situation that is so weird, it’s hard to believe it’s real and happening to you. It could be embarrassing or just overall confusing and feel like you’re being pranked.

Megan: Did you see Haley talking to that hot boy? It was so cringey!

Kendall: I know! She was really “Taryne It Up” out there.

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!
