Doki Doki Literature Club

A game that's really messed up. Don't be fooled by the cute exterior

Mike: Hey, Johnny! I'm gonna play Doki Doki Literature Club. Any tips?

Johnny: Yeah. Don't hang out with Sayori too much, you'd get pretty hung up by the end of Act 1. She kinda leaves you hanging there.

Literature

Short for 'literal torture'.

Yeah Doki Doki Literature Club was a truly underwhelming experience. What's the point of attempting to disguise this lame horror game as a cute dating sim if the title speaks of literal torture?

Neustadt International Prize for Literature

The Neustadt International Prize for Literature is a biennial award for literature sponsored by the University of Oklahoma and its international literary publication, World Literature Today. It is widely considered to be the most prestigious international literary prize after the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Harvard was so pissed off that OU produced the Neustadt International Prize for Literature and they didn't.

Plus, OU still has a better football team.

Back when I lived in upstate new york

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

TLDU

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
