Definition:
Maskquerading the practice of keeping up appearances but only providing lip service to social distancing guidelines that curb the spread of Covid-19. Typically performed by Millennials and older image conscious liberals (see Tesla drivers). Excludes those who actually care. Also, generally excludes Gen Z, Republicans, and #MAGA Supporters who don’t even try to keep up appearances ‘cause they don’t give a fuck.
Usage:
Paul: Damn, EB. That face mask is 🔥! Didn’t realize you were concerned about COVID. Is it N95? Noticed you drinking White Claw through it
Eugenio: Shit, more like N01. I'm just maskquerading by wearing this retro mesh jersey around my face for looks. Social distancing don’t matter, we’re millennials!
Fronting that you care about COVID-19 safety precautions for optics or to impress a match.
I was super stoked to find someone who’s also taking COVID guidelines seriously, but she’s totally maskerading! She posted an Instagram story last night and she was at a huge house party
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
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.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
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!
