deserve by Noah1986 January 2, 2008
A byproduct of human inclination towards something a person(or group) wants(or doesn't want) for themselves, another person, or an object by using related and non-related facts and sometimes lies to label a person, an object, or an event to be worthy or right for the said person or object.

Basically a simple sentence "He deserved to succeed" can be translated into "I want him to succeed because I think it's right for him", and that's already how we understand the simple sentence but no one wants to talk about it, until now probably.
I don't deserve this, no one deserves this.
You deserve that for what you did.
I deserve this, you deserve that, he, she, me, deserves something

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!
