Invitee Syndrome

Someone who feels unwelcome unless specifically invited to do things with others.

A person who may want to participate in activities with others, but is unable to ask to join and instead must be asked themselves by others to participate.

Said person will only feel comfortable joining others when invited to do so.
Example 1
P1: “Hey is John coming to the meetup this weekend? He is one of our best friends so he should be there right?” P2: “I don’t think anyone has asked him to come yet. He has Invitee Syndrome you know.”

Example 2
P1: “Hey (P2), where has John been? He hasn’t got on to play any games in ages but I’ve seen him online. Does he not like hanging with us or something?”

P2: Nah (P1), John just has Invitee Syndrome. He loves hanging out but just can’t ever ask himself to do so.”

self invite 

A self invite, or SI, occurs when someone decides to invite themselves into an activity to which they were not explicitly invited.

An "epic SI" is a derivative of the SI, where this person continues to invite themselves after being explicitly told "you are NOT invited".

Very frequently, this type of social ineptitude leads to being labeled your dawg in jest.

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!
