An internet phenomenon most commonly observed on tumblr in which a random internet user will make a post in jest, only for that post to come true. The name arose from a common joke around these iccurences, in which Apollo, the greek god of prophecy, gifts the aforememtioned jesters with clairvoiance in the form of a dodgeball to the face.

"Man, wouldnt it be crazy if Tumblr let its users create their own ads?"
*1 month later, a tumblr feature comes out allowing tumblr users to create their own ads*
"Wow, op really got hit be Apollo's Dodgeball."

Shag Dodger

A person who avoids their obligations in the bedroom (or any other place where sex can be expected to happen)..

Drex was most put out at the expectation that he should shaft Big Lady after she had made him another fine meal..

All he really wanted to do was go to sleep, but the thought of her labelling him a "Shag Dodger" in the morning was too depressing to contemplate so he reluctantly Rogered her brains out several times..

Dodged a Bullet

When you come close to dating a person but for whatever reason it falls through, and then later find out that person is batshit crazy, you've dodged a bullet.

I heard Kara nailed Oliver's pet snake to his door after she found a text from another girl on his phone. Guess I dodged a bullet there.

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!
