sellotape 

sellotape is a long sticky strip of material that you use to to attach things together such as paper, the end of your apple charger to make it not bend, and the mouths of your hostages. it is an extremely dangerous material, and it is not allowed to be used in most institutions. if they find out you've been using it they will stamp down on you, and they will punish you to ensure that the people don't gain any kind of power, as they want to keep you in your place so that they can keep theirs at the top. they want to stamp down on our freedom of creative expression, because they know, essentially, that we will expose them.

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!
