This is sparta! 

Used by Spartans to demonstrate to Persian messengers the first, second, and third laws of motion. Upon kicking the messenger over the ledge, the messenger exerted an equal force back upon the Spartan. At the same time, gravity accelerated him down the seemingly endless hole, and he will continue moving with a high velocity until he encounters the ground and transfers momentum to the ground, equal to his acceleration times his mass.

In reality, the phrase is simply one of the most awesome phrases ever uttered before.

Used in forums or gaming to signify ownage.
You're playing call of duty 4 and kill four people at once with a .50 caliber sniper rifle.

You: "THIS IS SPARTA!!!"

Others: *running away*

You're on a forum and a noob is spamming.

Noob: "Aaaaahhhh........*whump*"

Noob gets banned.

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!
