no-man by Pair of G's January 13, 2009
The opposite of a yes-man. And just as one-sided and hence bad.

Somebody who disagrees with and rejects everything, even people who are on his side or things that are to his advantage. Often just because they didn’t come from him.

Examples include some of the grumpy old men (the others are mere realists with life experience), the average German (I’m sorry, but it’s our national sport), and “Republicans” under a “Democrat” president (to appear as if they are not two arms of the same enemy of the people).
“Recent research has tended to show that the Abominable No-Man is being replaced by the Prohibitive Procrastinator.” — C.N. Parkinson

No Man's Sky 

A video game released by Hello Games in 2016. Despite the hype that took this indie game to a AAA title, at the time of its release, many features it was said to have were missing and it was rampant with glitches.
However, in the ultimate act of putting people before profits, the NMS team released many bug fixes and has since delivered many of the features it was missing, and added even more which were never mentioned before its release, even introducing virtual reality support on PC and PS4. Unlike many game studios, Hello Games never charged for any of the new content and or VR support. Thus, No Man's Sky may be one of the best video games of our time, and is certainly a leader in how to continue a game if it doesn't live up to expectations.
"I played No Man's Sky all day!"

"I preordered No Man's Sky and was so disappointed after first, but they updated their game and now it's great."

Bob: "No Man's Sky is fire."
John: "Yeah, a dumpster fire."
Bob: "Nah man, they fixed the problems and now it's been engoodened."
John: "Aw man, I wish Bethesda would do the same thing..."

"It'd be great if Skyrim did a No Man's Sky and fixed their bugs."

No Man's Land 

The shitty moment when a male gets caught between cumming and edging while masturbating. It is extremely unpleasant and frustrating. You can't go again for the full sploosh and the semi orgasm is shit.
I was jerking off last night and got caught in no man's land, it sucked.

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!
