To take a largely unknown indie band or song and make it popular by including it in a mainstream film or commercial, thereby "ruining" the band for its original (and somewhat elitist) indie fans.

Origin: Term developed after Zach Braff included the music of The Shins in Garden State.

"I deleted all my Feist MP3s after iPod Brafficated '1-2-3-4'."

Blafrican-American

The word formed when a white person attempts to glibly correct himself to sound PC, but had already started to say "black." This term usually comes out when the speaker suddenly remembers he is in the company of blafrican-americans.

"Why does Chad insist on referring to himself as 'C-dawg'. Does he think he is blafrican-american? Oh, hi Tyrone."

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!
