The definition of "Lovate" is to mix the words "Love" and "Hate" together, it's not a one sided feeling, it consists of both emotions. To equally love and hate something, someone, or some place, anything.
Lovate:
Is when you are deeply in love with an individual but you hate how they treated you as well as what they did to you. Additonally, it means that you're still stuck with the strong feelings of needing them and caring for them while hating them.
Something that you hate and love at the same time. Do you sometimes hate your beloved wife when she scolds you for something you think is unimportant? You love your wife, but at that moment, you hate her guts.
- I lovate alcohol, it makes me so social and it is so fun... Until I wake up the day after. The day I drink it, I love it, then when I am hungover, I hate it.
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!
