Graveyard Fuck 

This is where a bloke has sex with a woman who is, quite literally old enough to be his granny. There is no love or even liking involved, it is usually done or a bet, to score points off someone, or for some other reason. If the woman is wealthy or a celebrity, he is known as a toy boy and she is known as a cougar. If a woman indulges in a graveyard fuck, it’s invariably with a man who is rich and powerful and she expects marriage to result. In both these cases it’s usually just for the money so I suppose really they’re just whores and it’s not really a graveyard fuck.

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!
