Frolleague 

‘Meet my frolleague, Anna.’

When you’re introducing someone and you realise that neither ‘colleague’ nor ‘friend’ does justice to your relationship, frolleague is the word you need.

A frolleague is a professional connection that grows into a rich and fulfilling relationship.

Frolleague relationships are expansive, originating from a shared professional passion and evolving to incorporate everything else. This is why we love frolleagues so much. They are both professional and personal sounding boards, bringing fresh perspectives to our life story so far. They offer objective curiosity and candour that our established friends and family are often unable to bring. Frolleague relationships are rich and diverse. They mix, match and merge across all aspects of our lives, including our inner work geek... which is, in the end, what sets them apart from other relationships.
'It's Friday - time for fun and frolics with frolleagues.'

'Some of my favourite conversations are with frolleagues - we connect on so many levels including what gets us excited about our work.'

'Introducing my friend and colleague, Alice - hang on a minute! Shouldn't there be a word for this? Try frolleague!'

frolleague 

Friends + colleagues - for when your love and respect for your co-workers is both immense and totally work-appropriate; with a frolleague crowd, you typically switch between being fun and relaxed, and professional depending on the context.
At work: "I have a meeting until 5, but afterwards would love to spend time with frolleagues at happy hour."

At a weekend BBQ: "Solid beer choice from the new frolleague. Why aren't you this cool at the office?"

Frolleague 

Someone who is both a colleague and a friend. There is a thin line between a friend and a colleague - for example you would go and have some ice cream with your frolleague during office hours, but you would not go out to a club with her to do the dirty wine
I was at work yesterday and my frolleague asked me to go down to 7-11 for some ice cream. I said ‘yes’

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!
