Quarterly Financial Gangbang
The Quarterly Financial Gangbang is an event that occurs four times a year typically in the months of March, June, September and December. (The exact months may change, and it can even sometimes be 6-monthly in certain places) It is the convergence of large bills hitting households that are charged quarterly such as property tax, insurance, power, water and vehicle registration at the same time.
The effect on the affected person feels like they're having a train run on them by a particularly well-endowed and highly aggressive family of silverback gorillas. This is often the root cause of if the intense rage a taxpayer feels when they see the government was giving hundreds of millions of dollars to fund projects like transgender opera in Peru.

Hey Mike I'd love to have a beer with you after work but I'm right in the middle of the Quarterly Financial Gangbang so I can't afford it and have been living on unseasoned white rice for the last couple of weeks just to keep a roof over my head.

Haunted File
A haunted file is a file in a law firm where something bad happens every time it is touched almost as if the spirits are angry.
Steve: "Hey Jenn, are you okay you look upset?"
Jenn: "I was all ready to go away for the weekend but then I got an email from the other side in the Jones file that they have filed an emergency motion so now I'm gonna be in the office all weekend."
Steve: "Did you touch that file before you got that email?"
Jenn: "Yeah, I did a quick check of the critical dates to ensure they were in my calendar"
Steve: "Yep, you touched the haunted file and now the spirits are angry with you"
Typically used in Law Firms this concept can also be extended into any professional field with minor modification.
Mike the electrician: "Damn I installed a GFCI and then had to spend 4 hours fault detecting"
Joe the electrician: "Let me guess MANUFACTUROR X?"
Mike: "Yeah how did you know?"
Joe: "They make haunted parts, if you put them in a house the spirits get angry"

Season 2 Switcharoo
The Season 2 Switcharoo is an ideological bait and switch.
When a Television series avoids taking political positions and focuses on good story and characters in it's first season only to go full on current year politics in follow up seasons.
The writers and producers know that people want to be entertained not preached at. So they lure people in, get them invested with an apolitical high quality first season and only to then start beating them over the head with their Ideology in season 2 onwards.
Example:
Hot new Science fiction series
Season 1: A thoughtful space opera dealing First contact and how different people deal with the ramifications.
It's apolitical focused on telling an interesting story and set pieces & people love it.
Season 2: Black Lesbians dealing with racism and homophobia in SPAAAAAACEEEE.
Its character focused merely as a thinly veiled excuse for the writers room to beat you over the head with their political beliefs. Audience dislikes it more than likes it.
Season 3: Cancelled after 4 episodes.
