traffiction 

Traffiction is a fabricated or embellished story detailing a chaotic scene of gridlock conceived and delivered in an effort to explain one’s tardiness or absence from work / a party / your wedding / etc.

Good things to reference when telling a traffictional story:
1. Man on fire (include details like, “waving his arms wildly”)
2. Godzilla
3. Broken-down bus of cheerleaders
4. Volcanic eruption
5. Scene from Armageddon (just don’t mention Bruce Willis)
6. Sanjaya
Example of traffiction:
Wow, I know I’m late, but there was the most incredible accident on the Beltway that tied me up for hours! I was moving along making great time, when up ahead I could just make out a cow wandering onto the highway. I guess the tractor trailer ahead of me didn’t see it –he must have been going at least 80 mph. The explosive impact had cars screeching to a halt and ended in a massive pileup. I was able to stop in time, but it still took the workers and clean-up crew several hours to carve a path through the cars and meat. As I finally passed by the (now totaled) tractor trailer, I noticed the mangled Chick-fil-a logo…irony can be so cruel. So, anyway…did I miss the birth of our son?

Facebook (no)tification 

Pronounced: Facebook NO-tification

1. Takes place when one is excited about having one or more facebook notifications but soon finds that they are all irrelevant or unexciting.

NOtifications are: invites to out-of-state parties, options to support causes one does not care about, comments and 'likes' from strangers, when a friend request is accepted, invites to lost cell phone events where you have no intention of sharing your number.

2. A NOtification can also take place when one receives a notification for a wall-post, photo comment (etc.) that no longer exists.

3. When facebook will not recognize that a notification has already been checked, resulting in one believing they have a new notification when it is in fact old.
Jill: "If I get one more facebook (No)tification about Courtney's graduation party, I'm going to leave the event."

Vicky: "Every time I log in to I think I have a new notification but it's always the same facebook (No)tification about that creep commenting on my profile picture."

Jill: "I totally thought that cute guy Jack wrote on my wall, but there's nothing there."
Vicky: "That's called a facebook (NO)tification"

triction 

Definition: truth hidden in fiction.

I took the words truth and fiction and combined them. I would have to go back years in my diaries to find when I first coined the word triction. I coined the word to help people understand that I was hiding true incidents in my life in a fictional story setting.

If I could I would love to be able to tell you the exact date I made the word up from my diary records. However, I do know for a fact that I used the word and definition in a foreword dated October 28, 2014 in one of my kids book called, "Life Lessons with R.J."

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!
