Single man's ring 

The circular imprint that develops in the skin of a wallet when a single man has carried an as-yet unused condom in it for too long.

Even after removing the contraceptive wang-sleeve (usually due to expiration rather than use), the single man's ring will usually persist for months to come. Upon close inspection, the single man's ring may occasionally be found pressed into banknotes and jeans pockets.
Wandering the bars on Wednesday night, Pete realised the single man's ring which had developed in his wallet announced to all bartenders that he was wedded to the sadboi life.

Single Sally 

Single Sally is a man trying to throw a party without any friends. He may frequent bars, nightclubs and gentlemen's clubs for companions to party with.
"Sorry buddy. We only book topless waitresses for parties, no single Sallies. Call us next time you have some friends over."

"That is why this place can no longer be rented for parties unless there are two men willing to be responsible. One man had a party, wrecked the place and he threw up his hands, saying he cannot control his rowdy guests. No matter how high we raised the fee, none of these single Sallys ever cared about losing their security deposit. Only when we made two men give their names for the rental did we start to see manners. One of the two men needed the security deposit more and he would keep his friends in line to get it back. It became a matter of pride, and one friend would not let his so-called friend take advantage of their friendship by losing the deposit. With two names on the line, it diffuses the responsibility and makes it easier for everyone to relax."

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!
