A half-assed wedding. Whereas "wedding = proper ceremony + proper reception", a weddin will not have one or both of these. Also called "a family reunion".

Weddins are often trying to seem like chic, cost-effective weddings, but end up looking like the couple are cheap as hell and don't really give a shit about their wedding or their guests.

Examples:
Saying vows and signing the marriage license without an officiant

Getting a food truck instead of catering

Having your guests play frisbee and board games instead of dancing

Having your ceremony and reception in a Walmart parking lot
"Are you going to his weddin? I hear that he got a food truck, borrowed an old boom box and 3 CDs, and that the bride is wearing cutoffs."

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

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!
