Franktown
1. (n.) A nickname for the town Franklin, Tennessee.
2. (adj.) Of or referring to the town of Franklin.
3. (interj.) A word in a chant typically made by students of Franklin High School, usually in conjunction with a interrogative pronoun; i.e. "Franktown WHAT?"
Etymology: The rapper Cadence (now DJ Cadence), a graduate of Franklin High, coined this word some years ago, most likely in 2002. The word is a neologism based on the word "Franklin," a picturesque and historic suburb of roughly 35,000 inhabitants just south of Nashville, Tennessee.
Use: It should be noted that in every part of speech that it takes on, the word "Franktown" carries a certain connotation of gangstaness, though said quality is usually pretended for the amusement of the speaker and/or his/her listeners. Ironically, many of the subjects about which Cadence raps, including tough streets and widespread violence, are by far the exception rather than the rule in Franklin, a generally peaceful and quiet city which stands as a monument to the harmonious integration of past, present, and future ways of life.

Frankston
The gateway to the tourism hotspot of the Mornington Peninsula, Frankston is a beautiful beachside town that Melbourne yuppies like to criticise whilst they live in slightly more "well to do" areas like Caulfield which are actually crap holes with nothing but concrete and a few trees with homeless people that sit along the boring strips of shops.

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.
