get small 

Getting high.

Often used by members of the earlier years of Gen X or those who have recently discovered/are way too into the comedy career of Steve Martin who did a bit about "getting small," using it as a bizarre kind of antonym-based euphemism for smoking marijuana ("getting HIGH" vs "getting SMALL") and juxtaposed it with images of tiny people imbibing maijuana and speaking squeakily.
"Hey, dude, let's smoke until we get small so we can swim in the bong water!"

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!
