a policy many states have in which drivers licenses are sent through the mail instead of being issued in person so that someone can simply steal drivers licenses out of people's mailboxes making it much easier to commit identity theft
I just got my drivers license renewed and thanks to the Identity Theft Enabler's Act somebody stole my license out of my mailbox and used it to get 6 credit cards in my name!
A fanfic motif (mainly associated with the superhero genre) where one or more characters, in a relationship, use secret identities or aliases. The character without a secret identity may be the one attempting to arrest the other or play the damsel in distress. Its also relevant for a superhero x villain ship, where neither the villain or the hero know that they're dating their worst enemy. Despite its name it doesn't always need a sexual component.
"That scene in Spiderman 2 with Peter and Osborne is so good! When Osborne takes off Petersmask; the identity porn kills me everytime."
Everything is simply a shape, a form, an identifier to let others recognize me as me! But then, what am I? Is this me? My true self? My fake self? What is it that I am? Nobody understands me!
you know how Shinji Ikari once said: "Everything is simply a shape, a form, an identifier to let others recognize me as me! But then, what am I? Is this me? My true self? My fake self? What is it that I am? Nobody understands me!" yeah, I relate to that.
Literally the funniest thing you could ever see. It’s even funnier than a scientist who has turned himself into a pickle. However, old people usually don’t understand why this is so funny.

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.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
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!
