Pentatonix 

An a capella group that officially began their singing career after winning Season 3 of "The Sing-Off," the group consists of Scott Hoying (baritone), Kirstie Maldonado (soprano/alto), Mitch Grassi (tenor), Avi Kaplan (bass), and Kevin Olusola (beatboxing percussionist). Pentatonix derives their name from the number of members in the group and from the pentatonic scale in music theory, with the c changed to an x for stylistic purposes. The group first began with the original trio of Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch from Arlington, Texas who decided that in order to effectively compete in "The Sing-Off," they needed a bass and beatboxer. Kevin (beatbox) was found by Scott on Youtube after watching Kevin's video of him beatboxing while playing the cello. Avi (bass) was contacted by the trio and joined up after seeing the three in a Youtube video. After winning on Season 3, the group signed a record label and was soon touring the United States. Their specialty is doing covers of popular music while adding in their own special breakdowns and futuristic musical effects, thanks to Kevin and Avi, with Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch focusing on melody and harmony. Some of their most popular covers are "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles, "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence and the Machine, and "Aha!" by Imogen Heap.

Pentamournesty

Pentamournesty: To be pentamournest as in not to be with just a one partner to be loved in this lifetime.

Where citizens all pair into romantic couples like one another, a man & woman enjoying one another's company might discuss courting, though he struggles to tell whether a woman's interested in him, or in which mood of hers, whether relaxed or vamped up he ought to broach it with her. To whichever one man she agrees to allow share her life, this one or another more her type, well upon their telling her they like her, & her saying she likes him too, & his inviting her to be his partner, her saying yes, even though heard to fall in love would be exciting, she finds it daunting the idea of becoming a one man's spouse, his of his own should she desire a man's love. She smiles trustingly, sure that for all the white goods & tech equipment you make & the looking at the stars the do ..for her being his he'll be doing the math for the two, each his own canary bird in the mine. They will tell she's in the same condition as last seen her, & she'll be able to tell if there's anything wrong with any of them by the wobble in the others.
We say that men have a higher infidelity rate. That is not to protect women's honour by not saying "women take more men off of women than men do women off of men". Not saying this, most are oblivious to that the toxic doesn't blend in with us by their looking like us. They do it by our looking like them.
"Pentamournesty became an alternative family dynamic when in 2022 Charles Darwin's understanding on male human sexuality was debunked. Knowing it's not the less but the more women a man sees that makes him more sexually prominent, pentamournesty makes sense to a woman of that when a man's attached, he's more not less attractive to other women. We've learnt
women are able to sniff whether a man is married or attached. It's not to take the single fellow. What a woman seeks in a man is his being popular. When a man's not popular he's liable to love her how someone agreed with too much loves a person to their own devices. Looksism hides this."

"Pentamournesty an option, a woman might now opt to visit & adore a set long-term 3-5 seperate men, neither herself bound to any, or any to her, & seeing these infrequently they tell her condition like each a canary in the mine. There'll be no marriage plebiscite. Pentamournesty is voluntary."

"Pentamournesty inspires the incel, the involuntarily celibate male, to declare we ought not call women who see 3-4 any of all the dozens of names that mean erotic entertainer anymore, which one said one after the other means to a woman & what children she has, something much worse no one can prove someone had said. Those words, used passively aggressively to sneakily mean more than what said, obstruct pentamournesty from being a fair option offered women."

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!
