Hamlighting 

A psychological manipulation akin to gaslighting, but that is most often originated in family relationships as opposed to romantic relationships. The concept revolves around gifting the victim with inordinate amounts of ham, sometimes disguised as holiday tradition. The ham giver is trying to make the victim fat off of the ham for one of many reasons such as but not limited to: they are jealous of the victim’s success, they are inappropriately attracted to the victim and trying to put an end to that, they think the victim is too thin, etc. Hamlighting is not to be taken lightly and is unfortunately more often than not overlooked under the guise of good intentions.

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!
