A stupid mistake.

A derogatory term for a person who often fucks up.

The term, chemlee, is taken from the television show, "Pawn Stars." The nickname of Austin "Chumlee" Russel, a employee of the pawn shop. (According to the show's web page, Austin's elementary school friends took the name from cartoon character Tennessee Tuxedo’s sidekick, a walrus named Chumley.) Austin is a viewer favorite because of his entertaining fuck ups.
If someone were to put the Thanksgiving turkey in the oven but forget to turn it on thereby ruining Thanksgiving dinner....that person "pulled a chumlee."

Hey Chumlee...how do you expect the bird to cook if you didn't turn on the oven!

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!
