La chancla

Spanish word for flipflop/sandal/slipper. It's what Hispanic/Latino parents (usually mothers) use to beat their child's ass when they've had it with their misbehaviour.

And don't even try to run, they can throw that thing round a corner like boomerang and if you manage to run out the house then don't expect to be allowed back inside without getting twice the original punishment.

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!
