herstory
Herstory: a word invented in the late 20th century to mean "history", that is, history not written by men but by women, hence "herstory" (her story) rather than "history" (his story). The word "herstory" was invented because certain people with feminist predelictions thought the word "history" means, literally, "his" "story", as if to mean the story belongs to him, male possessive pronoun. Naturally, any person who is even a tad more than illiterate will realize that the word "history" derives from the Greek word "historia", which means "to inquire into". Thus "history" has absolutely nothing to do with male possessions, or even maleness. It appears that illiteracy was the standard of the day, being that it was enough for the word to "sound like" male possession of the story, instead of looking into (inquire into?) the true meaning of the word (history, that is).
herstory
Herstory
A specific body of work done by feminist scholars and researchers which attempts to reconstruct historical records believed to have been deliberately altered to exclude or denigrate the roles of women in history, politics, society and religion. Could be described as Feminist Revisionism
The First Sex, written by Elizabeth Gould Davis, was the first published work of Herstory, proposing an alternate reading of the historical record from a feminist perspective.

Canada's Herstory
Do not mistake this for "Canada's History"
Canada's Herstory has recently become popular among Canadian college girls because we all know they have a sweet tooth...
Description: This ritual requires atleast two females and is very simple. Who ever the participants are must agree not to say "eh?" throughout the event. As soon as one person slips, she must start drinking from a bottle of maple syrup. She may only stop once another participant has successfully place a moose antler up her ass. It can be assumed she will throw up at some point in the night so have a replica of the stanley cup available.

So I was all like, "I needs a herpectomy, I got a date tonight!" And he just stares down his stethoscope and says that operation don't exist. Don't exist! I see ads for it on those bus signs every day!

herstory
1. The aspects of the past which cannot be documented or recorded (in contrast to 'history,' which is what *can* be documented and recorded). 2. The portion of the past that cannot be conveyed rationally to whomever was not present to experience it. 3. The elements of experience which evade easy description, evoking a modality of expression known as poetry.
"The car accident happened October 8th, 1997 @ 10:30am. That's history. What isn't so easy to record is the herstory of the experience: the way the light appeared when I first opened my eyes after resuming consciousness; the way the medics so gently picked me up and laid me on a stretcher that I wasn't even aware of being moved, just of the lights and colors shifting around me. I can't really fully convey how it felt and the effect that it had on me at that time, but I can try!"

womp
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!
