The Yale Scale 

An all-inclusive hotness rating scale for females. It is a three-digit number, the first digit a 1-10 rating of the female's face, the second digit a 1/0 indication of whether or not you would tap that (1 being yes and 0 being no), and the third digit a 1-10 rating of the female's body.
*whistles* Wow, I'd say she's a 6-1-8 on The Yale Scale.

Really? I am not impressed. I think she's more of a 4-0-5.

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!
