Holden Morrisey Caulfield 

Holden Morrisey Caulfield, appears in J.D. Salinger's Slight Rebellion off Madison, published in the December 22, 1946 issue of The New Yorker. This was the basis for several chapters in the book, The Catcher in the Rye where Holden has a date with Sally Hayes.
Holden Morrisey Caulfield usually wore his chesterfield and a hat with a cutting edge at the “V” in the crown.

Holden Caulfield 

The most real literary character I've read from the novel The Catcher in the Rye. JD Salinger, the author of Catcher himself, often referred to Holden as a real person, saying things like, "No, Holden wouldn't like that."

Depressed throughout the novel, he takes jabs at the injustices around him, calling many people and things "phony," and while usually true, stating this only made him more depressed.

People he liked included his dead brother Allie, his kid sister Phoebe, and Mr. Antolini, a teacher at a former school of his who cleaned up the dead body of Kevin Castle after he killed himself by jumping from a dorm window.
Some quotes of Holden Caulfield:
"Goddam money. It always ends up making you blue as hell."

"High school's full of phonies, and all you do is study so that you can learn enough to be smart enough to be able to buy a goddam Cadillac some day, and you have to keep making believe you give a damn if the football team loses, and all you do is talk about girls and liquor and sex all day, and everybody sticks together in these dirty little goddam cliques."

"Sex is something I just don't understand. I swear to God I don't."

Holden Caulfield 

to 'pull a Holden Caulfield' is to go on a trip with no real aim in mind; a day trip (or night trip) that is completely reliant on one's stream of consciousness; based on Holden Caulfield's random journey through New York from J. D. Salinger's novel, "The Catcher in the Rye."
We had no idea what we wanted to do or where we wanted to go, so we pulled a Holden Caulfield and rambled around for a while.

The most Boring City this side of the world. The kids of the area find entertainment in things such as watching corn stalks grow or paint dry. However this rousing amusement can only go on for so long until the local police decide to break it up because there isn't one thing bad ever happneing here. Fair Warning to all: if you would like to drive through going un-noticed by the police then do not dirve a car that costs under 13,000 dollars or has a black person in it.
I was once stopped by the Canfield police officer (a.k.a. the blonde bitch) for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, this would be fair enough however I was RUNNING on the sidewalk.

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!
