Plot Polonium

The opposite of plot armor: a predictable guarantee that a character will die for plot purposes.

Refers to the 2006 assassination of Russian defector Alexander Litvinenko in London using polonium, a dangerous and radioactive element.
Andrew: That dude is making out with the main character’s love interest!
Bill: He has plot polonium. He’ll die by two episodes. I’m calling it.

The 5'11'' stigma 

The fact that 5'11 is seen as short, but someone who is 6 feet tall is seen as tall.
The 5'11'' stigma in action
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anthony, who is 5'11'': Hey Beth wanna go out sometime?
Beth: No way, short stack.
Charles, who is 6': Sup, Beth, interested in a date?
Beth: Wow, you're like a giraffe! 7:00 good?

Anthony: The 5'11'' stigma is a real bitch.
