kudoz = credit, respect etc.

That's basically it.
The term has it origins from Project Gotham Racing: "kudos". But that wasn't cool enough, so using it on the internet, you wanna be using "kudoz" with a Z.

A Kudzai is a most intelligent being, humple, peacefull, kind, beautiful in all ways & meek. In honesty, a Kudzai is extreme, too intense for mere words; he works hard & diligently, wasting no time nor effort and knows how to play even harder. A Kudzai knows and understands how to love deeply - inwardly & outwardly and very tender and caring traits are found in a Kudzai. A Kudzai is very perceptive and knows who to look out for - he becomes protective of those he loves. He is great at giving you smiles when you most need one & serves as a great companion, friend and lover.

However, a Kudzai is a force to be reckoned with, he's very vengful and plans and schemes his revenge very meticulously. On his take down he would turn your world upside down, tear asunder your illusions, and send the sanctuary of your own ignorance crashing down around you.

Kudo Shinichi 

Kudo Shinichi is a death magnet who 'One day, when he was at a theme park with his childhood sweetheart, Mouri Ran. He encountered some men in black involved in some shady business.' Being the noisy hot meitantei we all know him as, he followed and watch them trade guns with cash. Being extremely interested in the shade, he failed to notice the other man in black sneaking behind him and knocking him out with a stick/baseball bat/pole (depends on which movie/anime episode you were watching) and fell unconscious.

For some unknown reason, Gin was feeling weirdly kind and decided to feed him the pill that our favourite girl Miyano Shiho aka Sherry was working on at the time. So Shinichi swallowed it and guess what? He shrunk, into an identity he now currently use most often, Edogawa Conan.
A: He's such a Kudo Shinichi, no matter where he go something bad happens, like a murder or a robbery.
B: But he's so hot and smart and popular!
A: Exactly.

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!
