An individual who has been 'studying' at university far beyond the normal time it takes to become qualified. Fetheads will be seen to swap courses regularly because they're 'not sure what they want to do with their lives yet'. They tend to exhibit most of the stereo typical traits of under achieving students, such as poor diet, drug dependency, low stress threshold, and an affinity for 'Buddhism'. They can nearly always be identified by their unique stench, which is a mixture of body odour, incense and ammonia toilet cleaners. They frequently express the wish to 'sort their lives out' but lack the willpower or commitment to actually get off their arses and complete their course or get a job.

Derivation: from the words 'Fetid', meaning 'having an offensive odour' and word 'Feta', meaning 'a white semisoft cheese usually made of goat's or ewe's milk and often preserved in brine.'
"Hasn't that piece of shit fethead been studying sociology for like 6 years?"

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!
