Dallan's law
Dallan's law is an epigram that is typically stated as: "If angle looks like 90 degrees, then it is 90 degrees."
The law is often followed by mistake in math where someone assumes that an angle in a triangle is 90 degrees so they can use rules that only can be applied to right triangles.
"90 degrees" can sometimes be a metaphor for something else e.g., "If someone sees a car as red, then it is red". This means that a thing can be perceived as something else even though it is obvious that it only can be one thing. A washing machine can therefore be perceived as a rocket launcher if that person is stupid enough.

Example 1:
David: Why do I get the wrong answer when I use the Pythagorean theorem?
Teacher: Beacause it does not contain a right triangle. You probably utilized Dallan's law.
Example 2:
David: What a nice avocado you got there!
Åsa: Thanks David, but that's a potato. I guess you're right though according to Dallan's law.

The Dellana exists in less than .0001% of the population, and one of life's true pleasures is to be fortunate to know one.

Kristian Dallapalma
Kristian Dallapalma is described as a 'rat' where ever he goes, sadly this is due to his disfigured body. Many things such as his torso, legs, and head are all out of shape leading to a staggering height of 4 foot 2. Nothing can fix this.
Kristian Dallapalma has a unique love for the basketball player, Steph Curry. Some people question whether he is actually gay for Steph. Kristian wishes he was in the NBA playing with Curry but his jump shot cannot make up for this.
Somehow he has a hot sis

womp
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!
