Originally, the other, not-usually-played side of a 78-rpm phonograph record. From way back in the day, whenever it was that two-sided phonograph records became popular.
As '50's slang: You turn my record over, baby. Like, on the *flip* side. (See "flip out" = "go crazyover, freak out over, be turned on by someone or something.")
The dark places where douchebags, posers, rejects, thieves, and other horrible people reside. It is known as a Flip-Side because it is the opposite of our reality of relatively decent people.
"Hey, what's going on over there?"
"Oh, that's the Flip-Side, where the weird-o's go."
"Oh. Okay."
- An example of common education that should be shared among all people.
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!
