cemeterian 

A person who works in, owns or operates a cemetery or memorial park. Not the same as a sexton who was considered the "caretaker".
Forest Lawn was founded in 1906 as a not-for-profit cemetery by a group of businessmen from San Francisco. Dr. Hubert Eaton and C. B. Sims, cemeterians, entered into a sales contract with the cemetery in 1912. Eaton took over the management of the cemetery in 1917 and is credited as being the "Founder" of Forest Lawn for his innovations of establishing the "memorial park plan" (eliminating upright grave markers) and being the first to open a funeral home on dedicated cemetery grounds.

Cafeterian 

Cafeterian is a slang term (coined by interweb's Pile) that refers to a theist who claims to be part of a particular religious affiliation (such as a "Christian"), who picks and chooses select aspects of scripture and dogma to follow, while ignoring contradictory or other scriptures, rules and dogma. They basically select what they want to believe in, not unlike one would visit a cafeteria and select specific plates of food, while ignoring everything else.
Convenient bastid! This Cafeterian has condensed the entire nature and history of Christianity into a simple marketable sentence. It's up to us to trust that this guy somehow has figured the whole of Christianity out. Sure.

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!
