Jamaal: The day after I scored 80 points in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, I killed Hitler and discovered the cure for cancer.

Making a request of an individual (in many cases, your drug dealer) to accept your promise to pay in the future in exchange for immediate access to an item that you would like to purchase (in most cases, you would be looking to purchase drugs), in the event that you do not have immediate access to the funds necessary to cover the cost of the drugs you need &/or want, at that moment.
If I would have thought about it, I wouldn't have made that deal, as he doesn't have a way to repay the debt. MC Breed said it best,"There ain't no future in yo' frontin'!" I will likely never get paid... no more frontin'!!
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.

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.
