Rivalry by Siverus November 18, 2006

Rock Rivalry 

A competion in East Rockaway High School that takes place between the months of January and March, involving students in grades 9 through 12. Rock Rivalry consists of many competitive and creative events, such as a sports night, arranging/directing a short musical production, and creating both a stand and mural to reflect the theme of each respective performance. Nassau Community College studies have found that the competition causes a great deal of inter-class and intra-class tensions. In addition, the only award for winning said event is a silver cup that the class can only keep for 2 days, usually resulting in copious amounts of alcohol consumption for both winners and losers alike. For about 2 months, this is all the high school will be talking about. East Rockaway High School has had this tradition every year since 1936

Retard Rivalry 

An argument or fight between two or more stupid people. Especially immaturely and in front of a group of people.
Those two dumbasses, Ben and Jared, both liked the same girl, so they formed a retard rivalry and began yelling at each other like fucking five-year olds.

The retard rivalry between the homosexual HSM fanboy and the emotard went over the edge and eventually the two began viciously attacking each other.

Red Sox-Yankees Rivalry

A fantasy conjured up by Massholes and other New Englanders who actually believe Yankee fans watch baseball with an eye on beating Boston, while Yankee fans are primarily concerned with winning championships. In a true rivalry, one team wins more frequently than the appearance of Haley's Comet.
Hey, go Sox! We finally beat the Yankees with some half-assed fluke! This Red Sox-Yankees rivalry is really heating up - if we win 20 more championships and the Yankees don't win any, we'll be even!

one-way rivalry

A one-way rivalry is a rivalry where one of the participants is much more emotionally invested in the conflict. This state could arise if one of the parties (A) to the rivalry objectively outmatches the other (B) in significant way. The inferior party (B) will continue to value the prospect of winning, while (A) will shift focus toward other competitors that provide more of a challenge. Alternatively, (A) may simply have lost interest in the rivalry.

(B) may perceive their opponent (A) to be elitist or condescending if the one-way status of rivalry becomes clear. Conversely, (A) may consider (B) to be desperate or insecure.
1. In sports, the Mets-Yankees rivalry is a great example of a one-way rivalry. By virtue of their geographic proximity, some conflict between the teams is inevitable. However, the Yankees are widely acknowledged to be the more powerful of the two and find the Red Sox to be a more worthy opponent (though the Sox-Yankees has had elements of a one-way rivalry in the past).

2. Perhaps the most significant example in US society is the South's antagonism for the North. Many Southerners still bear great ill will toward the North for their victory in the Civil War and subsequent control during Reconstruction, some even believing that the North may be actively attempting to "keep them down". Actual antagonism from Northerners toward the South is generally limited to jokes about the Southern accent and the like.

Red Sox-Yankees Rivalry

Greatest rivalry in the history of professional sports. Most years the rivalry ends as somewhat of a draw. This year, the Red Sox have the better team (wait, they usually have the better team every year) and have already taken six out of seven games from the Yankees (see shit). Does not bode well for the Bronx Bombers.
You see the Yankees just bought up every good player they could?

Doesn't matter, since the Sox have the best pitching in baseball.

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!
