Crotonitis

Definition: Crotonitis is a degenerative mental condition common among males, and is especially prevalent around high school age. While it is not “life threatening”, it is considered by many experts on the subject to be a “life wasting” disease because while it doesn’t shorten lifespan, it may significantly reduce the quality of life lived. Common symptoms include laziness, atrophy of muscles, and frequent desire to talk about how tough you are, without being able to back it up.

Cause: No one single source can be pin pointed as the cause of crotonitis. However, it is believed that some major causes include the “everyone is a winner” attitude, first popularized by the hit television series Barney & Friends in 1992, and the ability of youths to talk trash to each other over Xbox Live while knowing that they will never have to actually confront the individual they are talking trash to in person.

Cure: There is no cure to crotonitis that can be purchased over the counter or prescribed by a doctor. The only known effective treatments involve hours of rigorous training each week over the course of several months or even years, to the point where significant amounts of sweat and/or blood may be lost.

cretinist 

Usually a fundamentalist, holier-than-thou, Bible-thumping, Scripture-quoting, Hallelujah-ing Christian, who often claims to be a "creation scientist" despite obviously bad science and flawed logic. Outspoken and eloquent, they can be very persuasive to the uninformed and pose a grave danger to our public school systems. Someone who naively and blindly believes in what one ancient book (Genesis) says and ignores the huge mountain of evidence and the power of human logic attesting to the rise of man and other species by naturalistic (sans divine intervention) mechanisms. Some also still believe that the earth is flat.

A notorious cretinist is "Dr." Kent Hovind who bought his degree from a diploma mill.

Suggested reading: The Selfish Gene, by renowned Oxford biologist Dr. Richard Dawkins. This is one book that, if you can uderstand the complexities involved can change your whole worldview forever as it did mine.
Beware, a cretinist may be coming to a church or PTA meeting near you!

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!
