In mathematics, topology (from the Greek τόπος, place, and λόγος, study) is concerned with the properties of space that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, crumpling and bending, but not tearing or gluing. This can be studied by considering a collection of subsets, called open sets, that satisfy certain properties, turning the given set into what is known as a topological space. Important topological properties include connectedness and compactness.
Using topology, you can figure out why a hole in a hole in a hole is just like a three-handled coffee cup.

This recent progress is largely the result of the work of a group of Australian Turdologists who have for many years conducted extensive research sheep and other farmyard animals.

Turdologists employ the use of cutting edge technology and are admired by scientists in other fields of research for the many high-tech gizmo's that they use. Among these are the turdometer, for presisely measuring the physical dimensions of various turds, the turdiloscope, used for locating turds at the source, the turdmograph, for acurately plotting graphical representations of the data extracted from tests on many different turds, and the turdulatory analytical osmosifier, for analyzing the chemical composition of turds.
Turdology is for turdologists with turdiloscopes.

Tvrdology 

Tvrdology or Hardology is a branch of psychology which can be studied in various different fields. For example a tvrdologist would determine how tvrda or hard a song is based on how heavy or down-tuned it is (also it can just be used to generally describe a good song). The first tvrdologist reported was Roko SpeedusMetallicus Roland, a famous guitarist in the area of Croatia, Zagreb, known by his Speed Metal band Barön. In 1991. during the Croatian Civil war he listened to his first ever doom metal record by a local band known as Rifftree and called it "Jako tvrdo" which could be roughly translated to "Very hard/stiff" and then Tvrdology was born. He later won a novel peace prize for stopping the aforementioned war and finally giving Croatia its independency by saying how Croatia is tvrđa than Serbia.
My g what would you rate that band Željezne Pilule on the Tvrdology scale?

Oh they are a 10 for sure.

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!
