Amanda Gorman 

The 22-year-old poet who spoke with poise and eloquence at the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, reading her poem "The Hill We Climb". Ms. Gorman, the youngest inaugural poet in United States history, earned wide praise and admiration for her contribution to an event regarded, by several measures, as historically significant.
Amanda Gorman joins a small group of poets who have graced a presidential inauguration with their words, among them Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, Miller Williams, Elizabeth Alexander and Richard Blanco.

From "The Hill We Climb", she read:
"And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it.
Somehow, we do it.
Somehow, we’ve weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished."

the most fierce, brave and the most determined soldiers in the world. Although they are only 5 feet tall in average, they are still respected because of the level of bravery they have soon in the field. Throughout the years, Gorkhali have recieved the several, highest honour medals (The Victoria Cross - 14 men have recieved this award). It has been written that even Samurai's were scared when they heard the Gorkhalis were coming. Samurai's had heard of Gorkhali soldiers, who would come in silence, and slice their enemies throat while they were sleeping. During the Second World War, many Gorkhalis were taken in by the British army to fight in the war. It is because of these brave men, Nepal has been able to survive. When the British came, they took over India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, ... but never did they take over Nepal. It is because of them we Nepali's are able to call ourselves Nepali. So, lets give a minute to these men who have given their life for their country. Eventhough they have died, they will still be in our hearts, they will continue to live on. "Wars come and go, But our soldiers stay eternal"
WHAT HAD HAPPENNED IN HISTORY:

British: Let's kill these people with guns, and take over their country
Gorkhali: We will not stand down, we will kill you with our khukuri, we will chop you like we chop radish

...HOurs pass by, gorkhali with khukuri's fight the British who have guns, BUT STILL, Gorkhali's are not afraid, they chop their enemies like they chop radish.

British: Oh, my god, they are so brave
British: Stop! Don't kill us. Would you like to join our army?
Gorkhali: Sure, why not.

WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW:
... Gorkhali's still continue to serve in the British army

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!
