metaglyph 

1.) A life lesson reduced to a symbol. 2.) A complete collection of such symbols. Throughout life we learn lessons. When we reflect on any one lesson we can create a mental picture of it and reduce it to a symbol.

The lesson: Man who squeeze lemon get sour juice. The lesson here is not to be surprised when things get overly ugly when we press an issue with a nasty person.

petroglyph 

Petroglyph is the only videogame company that totally pwns EA(Electronic Arts). Evil EA bought Westwood in 1998 and started putting their brand on Westwood games, thus removing every single tiny bit of quality from them. Since the Westwood developpers actually care more about the gamer than the money, the majority of them left EA and started this new VG company. They've had a good start with Star Wars: Empire at War and it's only the beginning.
- Dude, EA is so going to conquer the world!
- Not at all, Westwood guys just left them to form PETROGLYPH!
- O RLY? Then there's still hope in life! I'll stop cutting my wrists and covering 3/5 of my face with my hairs! (see emo)

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!
