Origins of this Toronto saying are unclear, but it is most likely derived from the saying “put 2 and 2 together,” meaning the conclusion is OBVIOUS or a FACT. It is also used interchangeably with “More Times” (see definition).

(Note: you cannot say my word after two twos. It is redundant and stupid).

Example 1: Sean: Yo, two twos (if you put 2 and 2 together), your girlfriend is cheating on you. She went to that house party and didn’t call you once fam.

Example 2: Sarah: What do you think of my dress?

Sam: Two twos (more times), it looks good still.

Two twos

A South African slang term, native to Durban (specifically within the Durban Indian and "Charou" communities), used as a measure of time meaning "in a moment," "very quickly," or "right away." It is used similarly to the South African phrase "now-now" to indicate that an action will happen almost immediately.

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!
