Cistern Job

The act of removing the lid off the back of the toilet and planting a stool in the cistern to spite an ememy. The easiest way is for the perpetrator to perch with their feet on the toilet seat and poo directly into the cistern. Often seen as one step further than a 'reverse kanga' or 'crocodile skiddy' as everytime the victim attempts to flush the toilet to rid it of its contents it refills from the cistern with a cruel mix of poo and water. Particularly effective as it is often not noticable straight away as there is no actual poo in the bowl but fills up over time making it hard to find out who did it.
My mother-in-law is such a bitch. I am going to teach her a lesson and perform a revenge cistern job in her toilet.

Cistercian Preparatory School 

A preparatory school based in Irving, that has systematically cultured depression, being antisocial, having anxiety, and gay habits. It is also known for having no racial diversity, as most of the population is composed of white baseball and football players. Although Cistercian markets itself to be a academically rigorous school, the students are actually just a bunch of boys whose main goal is to procrastinate. A well known motto known throughout the school is, “it’s not how smart you are, it’s how good you are at hiding your stupidity.”

However, the students are not to blame for this occurrence. If put in any other school they would blossom greatly. Many of them have great talent. However, when put under the rigorous and painful liberal arts education that is Cistercian, the students fold and are churned into cubicle-like workers.

Cistercian 

a very small private school located in Irving, TX. It is widely recognized for having the highest level of academic prestige in the DFW area. While often dismissed and mocked as having a population of exclusively gay, antisocial little twats by the other private schools, Cistercian students are allowed to grow facial hair, making Jesuit beta male faggits want to suck them off at parties. In addition, Cistercian students go on be far more successful than their counterparts at the other private schools.
Jesuit kid: "Bro you seem down today. What's going on?"

Other Jesuit kid: "Bro. I don't get it. Kylie dropped me for a Cistercian kid. Those kids are supposed to be socially awkward fags. The girls are saying he has a cute ass tho. And a beard. I wish I could grow a beard."

A baby who is forced to become trendy by its urban hipster parents. More and more boutiques in upscale neighborhoods cater to these parents, stuck in 1/3-life crisis, who buy their baby clothes and accessories that are essentially scaled-down versions of the Hot Topic product line. It's a way for young moms to live the party life vicariously through their child, 16 years before that child will be allowed to party.
I don't know what's more disturbing: that the 35-year old mom in Starbucks is wearing a babydoll shirt that says "Sex Kitten"... or that her cribster is wearing the same thing.

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!
