Tessorexia Nervosa 

A person suffering from Atypical Anorexia (AAN) must show body dissatisfaction, intentional restrictive behavior, and fear of gaining weight while maintaining a BMI of <18.5 and typically fall within the normal to the overweight range.

HAES-supportive nutritionists, wellness advisors, and other non-physicians from within the industry have bastardized the diagnosis of AAN while attempting to free their clients from “diet culture” and encouraging those to eat “what you want, whenever you want”. This trend harms the person by not acknowledging the self-destructive behaviour inherent in bingeing and using food for pleasure. Many consider this a misclassification of Eating Disorders, primarily Binge-Eating Disorder (BED), in an attempt to separate themselves from the stigma and shame related to gluttony and overindulgence. Unfortunately, this is at the expense of those who truly suffer from AAN since they are already underrepresented in medical literature and considered not severe enough for treatment.

Recently, Tess Holliday declared she was diagnosed with Anorexia at around 350lbs. In contrast to her claims, her social media features a plentitude of sweets, cakes, and takeout consumed on a weekly basis without shame. Such a false diagnosis of Atypical Anorexia is coined as Tessorexia Nervosa. Often individuals who are suffering from Tessorexia claim to be in recovery from Anorexia and any attempt to modify their diet would trigger a relapse causing them to waste away.
I suffer from Tessorexia Nervosa! I’m in recovery from Anorexia! Don’t talk to me about my diet or I’ll starve myself again and it will be your fault!

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.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.

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!
