(also. Lecture-Rant, pronounced Lektcha-rant) An angry lecture that may have an accusatory undertone. A lecture-style scripted performance in which the lecturer consciously speaks truth to power and ignores codes of civility. The word was first introduced at Davidson College (North Carolina) in an event sponsored by the Middle East North Africa Student Association (MENASA).
It wasn't a lecture. It wasn't rant. It was a lecturant.
Perhaps what we need in this postmodern ineptitude is less lectures and more lecturants.
I won't be the subject of your lecturant.

Being open and sharing becomes lecturing when you're talking to somebody who wasn't looking for your level of openness, which seems like hypocrisy. Like everyone else, the person you're told you're lecturing is a hypocrite too.
Stop lecturing me, I don't let my friends see my butt hurt in public, you're the butt hurt one!

Lecturati 

That class of people who lecture us on their ideals without any thought to how the practicalities of those ideals affect the rest of us.
After talking down to us for three hours on so-called sustainability the lecturati are heading back in their SUVs to homes in the countryside while I'm on the bus heading back to my shared rental apartment in a tenement block.

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!
