Pinkertons by JOSALINGER April 18, 2010
n., adj., a male of white descent who possesses an acute sexual interest in Japanese women or Asian women in general. See also: Yellow Fever. A white male Asian fetishist. Will often try to justify his racist preference by expressing an 'interest' in Japanese 'culture'. May have an accompanying interest in anime, manga, or the like. May also make such claims as to be 'Asian at heart', or similar statements. Pinkertons are generally middle to upper middle class, of any political persuasion, of any geographic location, but in larger numbers concentrated in the United States and Britain, with both of their rich imperialist traditions. The North American subspecies of Pinkerton may futilely attempt to justify his sexual objectification by offering bizzarre explanations couched in warped logic. "I just like girls with light skin and black hair" or "Asians just look better to me", ignoring the fact that other races possess such physical traits. Will quite often take college Japanese courses in order to further his lecherous pursuits.

etymology: taken from the name of a character from Puccini's Madame Butterfly, Pinkerton, a United States Naval Officer who pursues a fifteen year-old Japanese girl while stationed there, despite having no intention of staying with her, eventually returning stateside to his American wife after impregenating Cio-Cio-san, or Madame Butterfly. He later returns to Japan with his American wife to take the bastard hapa child of Butterfly/Suzuki and Pinkerton home with the two of them to take care of, which ultimately drives Suzuki to suicide.

See also: White Devil
n. "The pinkerton was surprised when the Japanese exchange student declined his invitation for dinner and sex."

adj. "Rivers Cuomo is feeling mighty pinkerton these days."

Nick Pinkerton

Pinkerton Academy 

Pinkerton Academy (also reffered to as Pinkerton and PA) is school in the ghetto of Derry, New Hamphire. The school is primarily outside, which is both good and bad.

There are three towns that attend Pinkerton Academy. They are known as the Derry Druggies and the Hampstead Hicks. Then there is the town of Chester, but no one actually has ever met a chester kid, since there are only about 10 of them in the entire school's population (which is over 3,000). Most kids are from Derry.

A typical day at school is at least 50 fights, a bomb threat or two, and at least 10 kids being almost pushed down from the top floor of the science building when leaning over the railling. And a sighting of at least 100 kids doing soemthing ovbiously not school apropriate.

Freshman are not liked by the rest of the school. They are constantly puched around. Because of this, in 2009, a new "Freshman Academy" part of Pinkerton will be opened. Which everyone thinks is very dumb.

There are many separate buildings on the campus of Pinkerton. It takes 7 minutes to walk from class to class. Most people will not be in the same building for more than one class.
"Hey, did you see those two girls fighting outside of the Shepard Building at Pinkerton Academy this morning?"
"No, but I saw some near the science building, the English building, the chapel, the portables, the vocational building, the social studies wing, and the library."
"That's all?"

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!
