GAFFE is an acronym for - Greenwashing Attempt For Fundraising Efforts. There is now a prevalent effort for NGO’s and other nonprofit organizations to raise money based on fears that have little or no scientific evidence to support there causes. However, these organizations will shamelessly propagate misinformation to create fear, sympathy and anger to promote their causes in an effort to raise money for themselves.
Did you see that NGO showing a picture of a turtle with a plastic bag around it’s neck? When confronted, they admitted to the BBC that it was a photoshopped image and the BBC retracted the story when this was found out.. just another example of a G.A.F.F.E. that is being used in media and on-line
The GAF or "Give A Fuck" Meter is a general scale used to gauge one's overall interest/productivity/willingness to engage in an activity or function.

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.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
