HYZ refers to a specific type of writing style used by some students in the IB English Lang & Lit HL course. This writing style places a heavy emphasis upon analyzing the underlying messages of the text rather than the literary elements the text entails. HYZ users tend to philosophize extensively upon the themes the text conveys and their societal implications, instead of exploring the effects of the literary devices. Consequently, HYZ users tend to score well in Criterion A (textual understanding) and fare comparatively poorly in Criterion B (author's choices). The HYZ style is the epitome of mediocracy. It is almost impossible to fail an evaluation written in HYZ, yet it is equally challenging to attain a superior mark due to the lack of exploration of specific prominent literary elements. This style of writing first gained prevalence in 2021.
"It was written in 2 hours and I may have pulled a HYZ"
"Oof, I borderline HYZ-ed this and the teacher noticed"
"HYZ Style is clearly based on the LXL Theorem"

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!
