nominal embrace 

Refers to a merely “in name only” type of hug that you give someone whom you do not actually have romantic/affectionate feelings toward, but are just “going through the motions” to be polite/agreeable.
There are various reasons why one might administer a nominal embrace; the most common situations might be (A) you are giving the other person a proxy hug as a favor for someone else, or (B) you are at a party, wedding, or other social gathering where “everyone is doing it” --- i.e., giving a hug --- to one or more “special” attendees, such as the hostess, "birthday boy/girl", the newlyweds, etc., or (C) the huggee is either mentally challenged and thus craves “cuddly attention” from everyone around him, or he is presently going through a rough time in his life, and thus he needs all the emotional support he can get.

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!
