Tracing the bowl

"Damn dude, you were gone a long time... is everything ok?"
"Sorry bro, those last 2 beers ran trough me so quickly that I traced the bowl 9 times"

"Randy, can you explain why there is piss on the bathroom floor again?"
"I told you, Sharon. It's called tracing the bowl and it totally a real thing. You wouldn't understand; you're not a bro"

Ray Tracing 

A computer graphics rendering technique that simulates real-world lighting by simulating light rays being emitted. The rendering starts from the camera and then outward. The result is an image with real-world lighting. This method takes a lot of processing power. It can take a long time to render a single frame on low to mid-end computers.

Ever since NVIDIA released their RTX GPUs, real-time ray tracing is possible now. This caused ray tracing to increase in popularity and is now used in some video games such as Minecraft and Quake II RTX. Due to ray tracing requiring a lot of power, this is only available for high-end GPUs (high-end GeForce or 20 series).

Ray tracing has all of the features in modern game graphics but has much more accurate and real-world like lighting:
Ambient occlusion
Godrays
High quality reflections (phong falls under this too)
High quality shadows
Soft shadows
This game looks really good with ray tracing.
I used ray tracing to render my film.

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!
