Productive Procrastination 

Productive Procrastination is what happens when you take speed (Amphetamine, Ethylamphetamine, blue speed) and focus on the wrong things. Instead of doing your homework, you're hyperfocused on cleaning the house, sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, cleaning the windows and mirrors with vinegar, folding laundry, and more.
Tyler: I took 25mg of blue speed (Blue Ethylamphetamine) and I cleaned my room and alphabetized my PS2 videogame collection.

Josh: You're supposed to be doing your homework! You're doing productive Procrastination!

semi-productive procrastination 

(noun) When you're doing work that's not the work you should be doing, but instead of just procrastinating you're being semi-productive and doing something that's not really important but still relates to your task.

also: (verb) to semi-productively procrastinate

Similar to pro-crastination, but not nearly as productive. Different in that semi-productive procrastination is still about what you should be doing, and can actually lead to what you should be doing.

Similar to productive procrastination, but different in that when you semi-productively procrastinate, what you're doing still relates a little to what you SHOULD be doing but just isn't it.

kid 2: "Yeah I know. I'm semi-productively procrastinating."

Productive procrastination 

Productive procrastination is efficiently accomplishing everything except for the thing that you most need to do.

semi-productive procrastination 

(noun) what you do when you don't feel like working but aren't procrastinating either. instead, you're being semi-productive regarding what you should be doing. instead of doing your work, you're doing something related to it but completely unnecessary.

also: (verb) to semi-productively procrastinate.

also: (adj.) a semi-productive procrastinator.

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!
