Flight mode FOMO
The ability to abstain from watching YouTube during flights as you must put your smartphone (and tablet) on flight mode whilst still being unable to abstain from watching YouTube outside flights.
Every time I board a plane, I experience serious Flight Mode FOMO, knowing I can't watch my favorite YouTube videos while still scrolling through my playlist for hours after landing.

Oscar
A prestigious movie award that reward movies for adults in an age when adults don’t go to the movies anymore. It's because people don't go to watch Best Picture-winning movies anymore, hence this movie award isn't the cultural force they once were. Though the ratings remain relatively stable from year to year, they are generally down from their height in the 1990s.
The Oscars used to be a huge cultural event, but now it feels like a prestigious award for movies that adults don't really flock to anymore.

backseat
The seat in a car that makes you feel either like a small kid or like a boss — unlike sitting in the front seat next to the driver, which makes you feel like a copilot or substitute driver.
When I’m in the backseat, I can just chill and enjoy the ride—it's either a kid's adventure or I'm the boss calling the shots!"

Good Boys effect
A trope on TV Tropes where movie age ratings regulate the age of actors less compared to the age of audiences who watch movies with certain age ratings, resulting in underaged children starring movies that they're too young to watch themselves like "Good Boys" (2019).
The 'Good Boys effect' sparked discussions about whether it's appropriate for underaged actors to star in films they can't legally watch.
