The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence
Refers to the way we tend to look at other people’s lives and other things that we don't have in general through rose colored glasses.
Comes from the idea of looking at a neighbours lawn and seeing it as better looking, healthier and overall greener then your own when in reality you’re just ignoring anything negative about it and downplaying everything positive about your own.

Friend#1: You’re so lucky, you went to a great college, have money and you’re so smart and will probably accomplish more by the time you’re 30 then I will in my entire life.
Friend#2: Are you serious? I’ve always envied you. People expect so much out of me. I’ve never been able to have a life because of studying and other schoolwork. If I get less then an A, people freak out like I got an F. I may accomplish that much, but with all the pressure on me I’ll probably be insane by the time I’m 35. In so many ways, I wish I could just be a regular guy with normal expectations and a normal life.
Friend#1: Wow, I honestly never looked at it that way. I guess it's true that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

The grass is greener on my side of the fence
The grass is greener on my side of the fence is when life is going better for you than it is for your neighbors. It's going better because there's Kratom growing in your grass, making it greener. You chug Kratom or make tea out of it or take Kratom pills and then you become happier and life is better. Kratom makes the grass greener.
Steve: Tyler. Why are you so happy like the grass is greener on your side of the fence.
Tyler: Because the grass IS greener on my side of the fence. There's Kratom here. I am buzzed on Kratom. If you want the grass to be greener on your side too, try Kratom!
Steve: Thanks!

The grass dancer
Literally the shittiest book I have ever read. I was forced to read this garbage in American Literature (11th grade english) and I really wish I could get the time I spent reading it back. It is about Native Americans that basically fuck people and believe in ghosts. There isn't much of a plot, and the characters are very unlikable. Fuck you Susan Powers (author).
Oh my god, I cannot do the annotations for The Grass Dancer because it sucked so bad. It is cruel and unusual punishment to make me read that again to annotate.

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!
