Similar to weather forecasting, but either a news source (company or individual) twists the forecast of a severe storm into a worst case scenario. This usually occurs well before a storm forecast has been solidly determined.

Person 1: The weather forecast on the news is saying Hurricane Irma is the next Harvey, and it's going to hit Charleston, SC.

Person 2: Irma is still a week away from landfall. It sounds like they're scarecasting. Don't believe everything you hear.

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

TLDU

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
