The Programmer's Curse 

When learning a new language, unless your first working sample is "Hello World" you will be cursed and will struggle to use that language for anything useful.
I was learning Ruby on Rails but because I didn't start with a "Hello World" example, I've been struggling with it from Day One.

Bob: "Hey, Jim. I can't seem to understand why my Ruby on Rails project just won't work."
Jim: "Did you start with a basic "Hello World" example to show you understand the basics?"
Bob: "Heck no! Why would I waste my time."
Jim: <smh> "Well, good luck, Jim. You've cursed yourself with The Programmer's Curse.

Programming the ENIAC 

Used to describe a particularly daunting and tedious task, but usually one with very good outcomes. Originates as a reference to the programming of the first computer, the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer), which would take hours to program simple math functions. Programming was done with a series of switches and in binary (1s and 0s).
"Passing Ms. Smith's English class is like programming the ENIAC."

Theory of Programming the Laws of Physics

A theoretical framework proposing that the laws of physics are not eternal, immutable decrees but rather something akin to a program—code written into the fabric of reality that could, in principle, be read, understood, and perhaps even modified. This theory draws on analogies with computer science: the universe as a vast computational system, physical laws as its operating system, constants as parameters, particles as data structures, interactions as functions. It suggests that what we experience as "laws" might be the running of a cosmic program—and that sufficiently advanced understanding might allow us to access the source code. The theory opens possibilities that traditional physics forecloses: that laws might have been different in other cosmic epochs; that they might vary across regions of the multiverse; that they might be patchable or upgradeable; that intelligence might eventually learn to program reality itself. It also provides a framework for understanding paraphysical phenomena: if the universe is running on code, then what we call "paranormal" might be interactions with aspects of the program we don't yet understand—undocumented features, developer backdoors, or glitches in the matrix.
Example: "His theory of programming the laws of physics suggested that the constants we measure aren't fundamental—they're settings in a cosmic program, parameters that could be changed. The universe isn't a machine running on fixed laws; it's a computer running code, and we're just beginning to learn the language."

The number of years you are still sexually active
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.

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!
