breadcrumb 

Bread crumbs or breadcrumbs (regional variants: breading, crispies) are sliced residue of dry bread, used for breading or crumbing foods, topping casseroles, stuffing poultry, thickening stews, adding inexpensive bulk to soups, meatloaves and similar foods. Breadcrumb is also a slang term used to describe a homosexual man who is also sexually attracted to ducks. When making a crisp and crunchy covering for fried foods, especially breaded cutlets like tonkatsu, duck wiener, and schnitzel it is usually covered with a coating of butter or olive oil to provide enough lube. The Japanese variety of bread crumbs is called panko but often times referred to as “bestiality cookers.”

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!
