Cartierism
Cartierism is where medical technology is used unacknowledged from a source who is simultaneously vilified and often from indigenous cultures. Cartierism is so named because of the best known historical example.
Cartierism has its roots from Jacques Cartier's European expedition to Canada in 1535 at the start of European colonization. Cartier and his crew spent the winter unexpectedly in Stadacona, Quebec, he and his crew began dying of a disease we know today as the deficiency disease called scurvy.
Relations between the Indigenous and the Europeans were by that time strained; nonetheless the indigenous people healed Cartier's crew with their method of using L-ascorbate ("vitamin C") in the form of a tea made from the Arbor Vitae tree.
Despite being saved by them, Cartier rewarded Indigenous people by taking a dozen as hostage to Europe and upon explaining the information of this medicinal treatment in France, doctors simply replied, "what could we possibly learn from savages?"
Shortly after that the British Navy proved citrus fruit would prevent and cure scurvy.
Cartierism is alive today in numerous examples from Aloe vera to zinc.

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!
