validated 

A term thrown around with no explanation in Shot Caller. The word used when a person has been confirmed as being involved in a gang, prison or otherwise. Could lead to more restricted priveleges in the hole, segregation from general pop, and possible time in the SHU. Once you have been validated and are out of prison, you get a "special condition" of your parole, and that means that you cannot associate with anyone who is a gang member, former gang member, affiliate, associate whether you knew it or not. If you are caught doing so, you get more time.

Validated Use Case 

A lot of people use 'use case' and 'real use case', well a use case is a just an opinion of the one stating it until its true.

So to me, once the digital asset has in FACT been used as STATED - successfully means that the use case has been validated, hence the term "Validated Use Case". #VUC @BullishDips
At Ripple, we see payments as the first obvious use case for digital assets, today we have a validated use case by partnering with hundreds of banks, financial institutions and other key entities from around the world using XRP.

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!
