SANITÄTER 

German for "paramedic". Definitely did NOT become common with BFV; I don't know how you can even think that. If its usage in BFV was "common", then it was likely no more common than its usage in, I don't know, WORLD WAR TWO or something, not to mention the fact that it was used exactly one decade prior to BFV in Call of Duty: World at War in 2008. And I am sure it has been used in many other WWII games prior to BFV as well.
"Sanitäter!"- Wehrmacht callout from COD: WAW Multiplayer. And subsequently WWII, likely.

Argumentum Ad Sanitatem

A logical fallacy where one dismisses an argument by claiming the opponent needs psychological or psychiatric help, rather than engaging with the substance of their position. The fallacy lies in treating mental health status as a refutation of claims, as if being in psychological distress automatically invalidates what someone says. "You need help" becomes a conversation-ender, a way of dismissing uncomfortable ideas by pathologizing the person who holds them. This fallacy is particularly insidious because it weaponizes genuine mental health concerns—using the stigma surrounding psychological distress to silence dissent, avoid difficult conversations, and position oneself as the sane, reasonable party without actually addressing any arguments. It's argument by diagnosis, not by reason.
Example: "When she raised legitimate concerns about workplace conditions, her manager didn't address a single point—just said 'you need psychiatric help.' Argumentum Ad Sanitatem: using the language of mental health to avoid engaging with substance."

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!
