The Bakers Dozen

Females line up with two tubs of cream cheese each and dip their breasts into the cream cheese as the male licks their titties like an all you can eat bagel buffet until all the cream cheese is finished. He then finishes by jizzing a 98% cream cheese semen mixture into all six of the females.

The Dirty Dozen 

A group of friends who do everything together.
Eat, Drink, Bake, Sleep, Laser Tag, & Mobb, while breaking various laws in the process. Ordinary nights with the dirty dozen may include group sleepovers, midnight rendezvous, and hot boxing.

Fights and hookups can (and will) occur due to excessive contact with one another.
But no matter through good or bad, this kind of friendship is hard to come by, and is usually short-lasting. Nevertheless, the memories made in the short existance of the dirty dozen will always remain.
-"Hey what are you doing tonight?"
-"Doing something random then crashing at Niki's"
-"Oh..I assume with the dirty dozen like always..."

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!
