(n): Any workvan, but particularly those from public utilities, with two fluorescent traffic cones mounted in front pointing down so they look like fangs. Incredibly ridiculous looking, since the cones would probably be easier to manage pointed up, but very real.
Haven't we seen that vanpire from the cable company go by fifteen times? Why isn't the damn TV fixed yet?
1) An individual whose presence in your life results in most of your interactions with them leaving you drained, spent, and feeling like your own Qi ("life force" energy in Traditional Chinese Medicine) has been sucked right out of you; 2) A two-legged spiritual and/or emotional parasite of epic proportions; 3) That friend who always has some sort of disaster going on in their life that they can't help but impose into YOUR life each time.
My friend's divorce was over five years ago, but every ongoing battle with his ex, over cash and kids, gets described to me in minute detail on a daily basis. The man is a Qi vampire!
ValueVampire - A person who when present, sucks all of the value out of a room.
Owen, Tom and Jordan are together having a great time and are all adding value to each others mood. James arrives on the scene and unbalances the harmony by not adding any value at all and in fact sucking some of the value out of the situation and everyones mood.
When James leave'sOwen might say to Tom and Jordan: "I'm Glad James is gone, he is such a value vampire". The mood would then improve as value is replenished.
A Fluoride Vampire is one who refuses to remove their head from the sand. One who cannot wrap their tiny mind around proven facts, even when it is shown to them. Educating his/herself is not an option as they are perfectly content with remaining ignorant because of an infallibility complex which they suffer from, or perhaps it is simply a lack of intelligence and lack of a sense of humility. In short; a Fluoride Vampire is someone who is beyond help and engaging in prolonged discussions with said Fluoride Vampire should be avoided at all costs as to not become afflicted with Fluoride Vampire syndrome which usually leads to severe brain rot and overly passive behaviours such as agreeing to allow the police into their home without a search warrant as well as giving up other constitutional rights.
Fluoride Vampire #1: "The Police recently investigated themselves and found they were not guilty of any wrongdoing. They then cleared themselves of all charges. This proves without a shadow of a doubt that they are innocent, law-abiding citizens just like everyone else."
Fluoride Vampire #2: "Sounds totally legit. Thanks for clearing that up."
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!
