A scientist who thinks that working on fishing boats counting and identifying numerous types of fish and marine species is a pretty sweet job. Doesn't enjoy getting seasick, but still spends at least 3 months of the year up in the Bering Sea, trying not to get sick while seeing more fish than most people will ever eat in a lifetime!
Everybody should be a fishery observer, but only those with a strongstomach can stick with it.
An internet connection that is very laggy or even non-responsive. The phrase is usually used in Real-Time Strategy or MMORPG games online. The phrase was first used in a 2v2 match of Stracraft when the game was close to lagging out or disconnecting on a host game. When the game dragged, the host saved the match and titled it "WHO HAS THE FISHER-PRICE MODEM!?!". After that, hilarity ensued and the culprit with the slow internet connection was revealed because Starcraft drops laggy users when a game is saved.
Dude, don't ever 1v1 that guy, his fisher-price modem will drag the game on for hours!
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!
