An emotional detonator is a word or multiple words, image or multiple images, video, idea, or perception that causes an explosive and often irrational, emotionally based reaction that renders logic and sound judgment abilities immediately inert.
The media is notorious for using inflammatory headlines, doctored videos, selective and biased reporting as emotional detonators to illicit emotional responses from the ill-informed public.
Taking a beer can, shaking it up and exploding it by the forceful slamming of said can against one's forehead. The real art of this game involves careful placement of beer can on forehead, force of impact, and splatter distance. Masters of this game value winning not only at detonating the can, but how far each half of the split can travels, number of attempts needed to detonate, but also making sure audience members enjoy the sport.
Did you see that game of detonator!? Dude, QuickStep needed only 2 tries to explode that can. He must have a forehead made of steel.
A drinking game that doesn't require much drinking. Participants slam a shaken-up beer, sideways, into their forehead with a goal of detonating. This, of course, occurs after a crazy pump-up yell of "DETONATOR!". If a detonation is not achieved, the beer is passed, spraying or not, to the next person, who then attempts to detonate. One who detonates is fucking HARDCORE.
A non-Asian guy, usually white, who goes out with unattractive Asian girls, thus removing those girls from the dating pool and "detonating the bombs"; does not necessarily have to have yellow fever, but might just not be able to recognize what makes unattractive Asian girls flawed in the eyes of Asian guys.
"Whoa, she's got a boyfriend?"
"Yeah, some white guy asked her out."
"Ah, a bomb detonator."
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.
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!
