Hippobottomus 

Having a hippobottomus means to showcase a rather excessive amount of flesh in the buttocks area of the body. It is an exceedingly insulting comment to declare one's buttocks a hippobottomus. It is commonly used in the clothing department of speech, as a sales assisstant may need to advertise clothing in the hippobottomus size, which is pants with 100x XL size. A hippobottomus is generally about 10000cm wide, and needs extra-stretchy clothes. Hippobottomus sizes of clothing might only be available from orders from online websites devoted to hippobottomus sizes of clothing. It is a major exaggeration to name one's buttocks a hippobottomus, but also is an extreme insult.
I am sorry, Ma'am, but we do not have these pants in the hippobottomus size.

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!
