Bones Gate 

A Dartmouth College fraternity located at 10 Webster Avenue, Hanover NH.

Founded in 1901, the fraternity was originally known Delta Tau Delta. In 1960, the Hanover chapter formally dissociated itself from the national organization because it would not allow the local Dartmouth chapter to allow minorities. The fraternity remained unnamed for 2 years, until brothers studying abroad in London, England proposed the name to honor a pub, the Bones Gate, that they frequented while there.

Bones Gate 

Chemically sedated and laid-back, Bones Gate enjoys a good bake, which probably accounts for their at-times tempestuous relationship with the administration. BG has a reputation for dabbling in harder substances, perhaps contributing to their generally apathetic (in a good way) reputation. Don’t be fooled by their chill vibes, as the brothers of BG are known for their ironic approach to Greek life: one of their signature house chants is simply “F–k BG.” They’re known for their live bands—usually jam, funk, or DJs—and their signature drink, Cutter. Rumor has it BG has replaced their insulation with remnants of a solid night’s inhalation.

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!
