I was walking around the center of Hanoi heading towards the Old Quarter of town when I came across three Vietnamese ladies selling all sorts of local fruits. The funny thing was that they were seated almost in the middle of the road where motorbikes were seen moving from all directions passing.

Hanoi high five 

A Hanoi high five is derivative from the term used in the film 'Tropic Thunder', but has evolved into a sexual move.

A Hanoi high five is where your partner is on the bottom preferably , when they're are at the point of orgasm (liberating the south) you land a bomb/grenade to the dome. There are variations of the finishing move, i.e throwing them out of your house/flat/village/country , ejaculating or ask them to concede victory.

This move can also be used on the back foot, an example below.
The first example would be in a forced sexual situation where you are not the aggressor.
1. He mounted me and when he was about to liberate the south, Bam Hanoi High five.

Another example for emergency situations

1. You are making love, she decides to tell you at the point of liberation "hey you want to meet my parents", Hanoi high five, a perfect gesture to decline that meet.

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!
