grierson 

The act of causing rapid evacuation of a room or other confined space by floating a particularly nasty air biscuit. Most commonly, a grierson requires the assistance of a tarka for maximal effect. The word is derives from the name of a rotund large-eared red-headed gentleman scholar of an unathletic nature (not to be confused with a waby), who claimed to be able to clear the audience of a 300-seat lecture theatre in 10 seconds.
From the Philadelphia Enquirer, 23rd March 2004: Mass panic ensued after shouts of "grierson, grierson" were heard in the darkened room. Firemen with breathing apparatus recovered the bodies of 18 of the deceased several hours later.

grierson

Named after the now notorious scholar, Grierson, who continued to consume numerous plates of tarka despite clear medical advice. The US unit, the air biscuit, is equivalent to 18.4567cGr.

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!
