"I Can't Or Won't Talk About That"

First coined by Justin Meldal-Johnsen in the Nine Inch Nails chatroom on nin.com, this acronym can be used to warn off over-zealous NIN fans from asking questions about things which band members might not be at liberty to discuss.
fan#1: O HAI JUSTIN!!!!11! Will there be a LITS tour in Europe next year?

Justin: Sorry, ICOWTAT

fan#2: OMFG JUSTIN MELDAL-JOHNSEN!!! Is Trent recording a new album?

Justin: ICOWTAT

fan#3: Hey Justin. What colour underpants does Trent wear?

Justin: ICOW- wait, what?

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!
