The Role 

Also "the fag role". In Illinois juvenile male prisons, this refers to a subculture built up around prisoners having same sex sexual contacts with each other. It can range from touching or grabbing, to exposure, to full intercourse. There is an ever changing series of hand signals and code words that go along with this practice. For instance, making a "farting" noise with your mouth means you want anal sex to be performed on you. Sticking up one thumb or rubbing the thumb and forefinger together are also invitational signals. The phrases "in ya" or "I've said my piece" can be worked into regular conversation, and are also invitational in nature. Juveniles leaving these prisons often continue to "play the role" with others who are aware of the practice.
Yo, when I was in the DOC, sure I played the role, but so did everyone, even the guards.

The role of government 

According Ben Shapiro the role of government is to protect HIM. Protect his religion. Protect his stuff from the rabble. Protect his stuff and religion from foreigners. Ha! Governmommy!
Hym "The role of government is to protect Ben. That's it. That's his entire thing. Protect his kids from SEEING a tranny of anything that might make them question their religious presuppositions. Protect HIM from getting his stuff taken (But OBVIOUSLY not ME, HYM, But HIM instead of me (because my stuff is being taken)). Keep people who might change how the government works from EXCLUSIVELY PROTECTING HIM to something else. I mean, the shit-libs just want to replace religion use it as a tool to force people to behave how they want them to behave. Just as bad but stoll better than the religion."

Acting the role of the fool 

If a picture can tell a thousand words, but actions speak louder than words, your boombox has the traits of a compulsive liar.

I should thank you for the life lesson. When you're unsure of what someone is truly feeling, let them do what they want to do and they will show you what they want to do. You said you wanted what I wanted, but you didn't do what you said you would.
You kept showing me who you are and what you want, when am I going to stop acting the role of the fool and believe you.

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!
