1. Often disguised as a democracy or a constitutional monarchy, a corpocracy is when a country is run by big business, either
a. Indirectly (a common occurrence). Usually the result of pandemic corruption or gradual erosion of a nation's checks and balances on the executive branch of government; to the point where greed takes precedence over your representative's morals.
or
b. Directly (currently theoretical). There are few companies with the capital to afford starting their own direct corpocracy.
1a. I highly doubt that Congress would willingly label America a corpocracy, but honesty isn't exactly their strong point.
1b. Microsoft has enough money to buy a small country, thus forming the first direct corpocracy.
2. America became a corpocracy when both the Republicans and the Democrats dropped all pretence at serving the nation's best interests; opting to take bribes from the defence industry, large oil companies, and Hollywood instead.
While by law the U.S. is a republic, the government is actually a Corpocracy - democracy by the corporations. Corporations vote by paying politicians and political parties to put forward their agenda. The term is also endearing because of the similarity to the word "Hipocrisy".
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
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.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
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!
