Nolo by Larsnolonolo April 16, 2014
NOLO is a term used when you leave your house momentarily, but need to return one or more times to retrieve a critical item, such as a forgotten phone, wallet, or keychain. It stands for Never Only Leave Once.
You leave your house to go to the beach for the weekend and say goodbye to all of your roommates, only to return 10 seconds later after realizing you forgot your cellphone. Upon re-entry to the house, you yell out "NOLO!" To indicate the nature of your return.

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!
