A natural phenomenon by which bros intrinsically congregate. Modern science describes brovity using the general theory of brolativity in which brovitation is a consequence of the curvature of the space/bro fabric.

The curvature of the space/bro fabric is attributed to fact that a single bro has the propensity to naturally bend his relative locus. The bending of the space/bro fabric is a result of bromass. Under these circumstances, bros exert an attraction on one another.

Passerby: Whoa... what's going down at the Tau Phi Alpha house?

Another Passerby: I don't know... It's a Thursday night and there has to be at least 70 bros over there. What's the deal?

Speculative Onlooker: It's brovity. The universal law by which bros naturally exert an attraction to other bros. Three bros throw a beer social and in little time they'll attract more and more bros... Natural law my friends.

Passerby: Looks like a complete sausage fest.

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!
