ACS Law just sent a threatening letter to my elderly grandmother claiming she'd shared pornography online. She's in tears despite knowing she's never owned her own internet connection.

Sorry Mr. Smith but my daughter hasn't done her homework this week because she received a letter from ACS Law threatening to ruin her life.

Gavin, how are those idiots at ACS Law still practicing? Surely they're banned from the UK by now?

ACS Law is (soon to be 'was') a law firm specialising in indiscriminately sending threatening emails to people they believe to be illegal file sharers. Although their most noted case prior to 2009 was the defence of a British national accused of public indecency in Dubai, they are better known for noobing up their security and having their internal emails leaked.
Your partner slept around after finding out you'd been unfaithful? That's ACS Law, baby.
ACS Law by Fatneck Andrew September 29, 2010
A crude way of calling someone a 'wanker', used heavily between employees at actual UK law firms due to the derogatory nature of being known as a scumbag lawyer like the infamous Andrew Crossley.

RealLawyer: You sound like you're practicing for ACS Law, you utter simpleton.

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!
