fauxviate 

the act of attacking progressives and progressive causes without regard for the truth.

Combination of the words "faux" and "bloviate" to denote bloviating that's especially devoid of facts and/or logic. Especially applicable when applied to Fox News.
Since he had absolutely no knowledge of the topic at hand he decided to fauxviate like Glenn Beck.

His argument eviscerated, Bill O'Reilly retreated to his dream world and began his trademark fauxviating until everything made sense to him once again. Facts and logic be damned.

*See all political reporting on Fox News.*

fauxlite 

fō'līt adj.

Fake politeness, usually displayed in public settings. People who are fauxlite are perceived to be very sweet and innocent by their casual friends, but can be devious, manipulative and mean. A fauxlite person's true colors only shine through by accident, or are demonstrated to those in their circle of trust -- a.k.a. their family. Also, those who see through this facade are coldly received by the fauxliter. **Friends rarely, if ever, believe that a fauxliter could ever be anything but nice and kind.**

Fauxliters are often martyrs who decline any offer of help/assistance (so as not to impose), laugh really loud and overzealously at jokes, buy/make random gifts, and say yes to almost anything their friends ask of them.
Michelle: My mom is such a jerk. She called me a thief and a liar and was yelling at me on the phone today.

Gary: No way! Your mom is SO nice! She baked me a cake for no reason. She would never say those things!

Michelle: Oh please! She is so fauxlite it makes me want to vomit. You just don't see it because you're not related to her.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
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!
