Social studies

The worst subject in all of life. Like who needs to know about things that happened long ago?!? Like if I need to know about history I would just read. Who needs history?
Person: Why is social studies a thing? Who needs it?
Social studies teacher: you better need it to learn!
Person: about what?
Social studies teacher: Ummmm... Something?

Social Studies

A typical school subject that consists of world history. However, it is most likely the most useless subject to be circled around the education system, because, unfortunately, when you're working at the cash register at McDonald's, no one is going to ask you to name all of the Chinese dynasties.
Student: What's your favorite class?
Student 2: Social Studies!
Student: Hey, what do you think is the most useless subject?
Student 2: Ummmmmm

You get the idea.

Social Studies

The most useless class in the whole world. Honestly, who the fuck needs to learn about the Mongols? It doesn't benefit you in anyway possible. The only reason why it's there because some tards said, "LEt'S leArN aboUt HiStOy.". Fucking idiots.

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.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.

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!
