Hermione 

An exceptional young woman. The brightest of her age, and the prettiest for years to come. To be described as a “Hermione” would be the greatest compliment a girl could ever receive. Athletic, strong, beautiful, funny, and sweet. She’ll study hard about any topic, then find a way to make a joke out of it. She works hard even if she doesn’t know it’ll pay off. She is the type of person who would enjoy partying hard all night, but also having a quiet night in with her friends. Hermione's are rare and difficult to find. When you find a Hermione keep her cherish her as she is your best hope in life. The only word that could define a Hermione is perfect
“Wow I met this amazing girl last night she was quite the Hermione”

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!
