motor neuron disease 

A "Disease" which is not even a disease. An illness that gradually destroys the motor neurons in your body. Eventually the sufferer wont be able to do anything. The Hollywood actor, David Niven had the "disease". There is no known cause of the illness, nor a cure, but there is research going into the prospect of using stem cells to recreate the savaged motor neurons, but it's not yet known if the disease will destroy the new ones too. Has nothing to do with shakey hands.

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!
