coined from the terms "hell" and "hiatus". this term is mainly used by the Supernatural fandom.
this is the horrible period when the show is not airing on tv. primarily occuring during season breaks, hellatus can also be experienced during winter breaks and now more recently in season 6 when the CW network opted to air re-runs or preempt the show for seriously stupid reasons.
fangirl1: WTF? supernatural will not be airing this friday because the CW opted to replay some other poorly rating show?
fangirl2: i don't know how i'm going to survive this hellatus anymore! damn you CW!?!
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
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.
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!
