urban encyclopedia 

a definition that is way too long and most likely has been copied straight from wikipedia or some other encyclopedia website. It'd probably be best to just not read it, give it a 'thumbs down' rating, and continue on browsing the site.
good example of an urban encyclopedia entry: Aryan.

Urban Encyclopedia 

A Wikia site that follows the same principle as the Urban Encyclopedia, and is essentially just using a different platform (which is the same platform as Wikipedia, Uncyclopedia and Encyclopedia Dramatica)

I think the "urbanencyclopedia" can just be found in Wikia.
Did you put that whole theory about sexting on Urban Dictionary?

Oh no. The Dictionary is too concise for that. I think I'll put it on Urban Encyclopedia though...

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!
