The Swirl 

A broad (admittedly corny) way to describe interracial relationships between Africans/African-Americans and Caucasians. Based on the "swirl" ice cream cone, a cone consisting of an equal part of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Also: WAAAAAAY less offensive than jungle fever. (BTW: Do people still say that? Yikes.)
Person 1: "Hey, Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel got married!"
Person 2: "Oh wow, I didn't know they were down with the swirl."
Person 1: "Uh...ok."

The Swirl Phenomenon 

The majority female presence in every swirl community involving black women.

On every social media platform (Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok...) there are always more women than men.

Usually it's the inverse. Men outnumber women on dating apps by as much as 8:2.

However this isn't true in the swirl community. Whether Asian men (r/ambw), white men (#bwwm), or any combination involving black women.. there will always be more women involved than men.
Why are these women so thirsty?

It's the swirl phenomenon.

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!
