Cash Apology 

When your "parents" have deceived you and then realise that you will find out eventually, they set about buying you EVERYTHING so you wont hate them for what they've done from the age of 14. So you get a brand new motor cross bike, then a brand new helmet, and motorcross boots and gloves and goggles, and trips everywhere so you can ride. Then they buy you more motorbikes and more helmets and they make you the "Golden Child" so you refuse to hear the truth and hate them.

Apolline 

An amazing person. One of the smartest girl you'll meet, and always here to cheer you up. Probably gives great hugs. Socializing with people she doesn't know isn't always her strongest point, and your first conversations with her might seem a bit awkward, but once you get to know an Apolline, you can't help loving her. And if you are lucky enough to be her friend, she will never let you down. She’s a good listener and you can count on her if you need affection or comfort. Or if you just want to laugh: Apolline is really funny. But you need to get used to her sense of humor, 'cause you may find it kinda special at first. On top of her numerous qualities, Apolline is a very sexy blond (and a few hot brunettes or gingers are called Apolline, too).

But an Apolline sometimes lacks self-confidence. It seems absurd when you know her: how can this amazing person not see how amazing she is? Still, please remind any Apolline who might need it how amazing she is and how much she deserves to be more self-confident!
Seeing Apolline just made my day brighter!
I'm so glad Apolline is my friend, she truly is one of a kind

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!
