Paraplegics have complete or incomplete paralysis of the lower half of the body including both legs, usually caused by damage to the spinal cord.
The amount of paralysis is almost always a correlation of how much damage was suffered in the spinal cord. Motor vehicle accidents are the prime cause and more than 10 thousand people per year suffer a spinal cord injury, most injuries result in tetraplegia which is paralyais of the entire body below the neck.
John was in a bad accident last night and severed his spinal cord.
How bad is it?
The trauma doctors at the hospital said his spine was severed near the lower part of his sternum. John may neverwalk again. He's paraplegic.
Thank god he's still alive and didn't suffer brain damage. And at least he's not a quadriplegic
"i wasn't gonna run from the cops but i was high, i was gonna pull right over and stop, but i was high-now i'm a paraplegic and i know why yeah cuz i got high, cuz i got high, cuz i got hiiigh..."
A state of intoxication. You are inebriated to the point where you lose all voluntary muscle control to the upper body such as, arms and head, but you can still walk fine.

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!
