A place where a majority of the Nanuet high schoolers do pot after school, Where you'll see some meat heads and airhead cheerleaders hooking up and catching incredible diseases from each other. Nanuet senior high school composes of 700 assholes, whores, freaks, geeks etc. When a rumor gets heard by one person, it gets heard by over 400 kids overnight, rumors spread fast in Nanuet. Where freshmen and sophomores think they are cool wearing their dumb ass colorful bracelets up to their shoulders and the upperclassmen just waiting for those kids to get beat up, but no one will because we're all pussies to stand up for what we want to say. Though we all might say we hate Nanuet, once we all leave for college we will miss our poor high school that can barely afford planners and the lame Nanuet mall that no one ever visits, except for parking when the Nanuet carnival comes to town!
Wow, Nanuet sucks. But we still love its' shitty atmosphere.

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!
