Awkwartunity

an awkward opportunity; usually occurs at but not restricted to social events.

1) A situation when you are so starstruck by the person with whom you have just made acquaintance, that you proceed to fumble words, use 'um' a lot, and are generally awkward.
2) When you are being offered an amazing opportunity but the conversation of details is cut short by an interruption such as "an important call". The conversation is then stopped and is never to be continued and the opportunity falls impossibly out of reach.
3) A typical rom-com meeting situation where you literally run into the person you've had a crush on for the longest time or the person you'll love for the rest of your life (could be same person), you unintentionally expose something embarrassing to them, or any similar situation.
I just met him the other day when I came out of the bathroom and he walked over to tell me that I had a toilet paper tail. We have a date next Friday. It was a total awkwartunity!

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!
