Imprinting 

1. A Twilight series word.
2. A "bizarre werewolf thing".
3. To imprint.
4. The act of a Quileute werewolf falling "in love" with someone--basically "love at first sight" but much more powerful and much more absolute; the love is not always a "romantic" love, but rather, simply UNCONDITIONAL love in general--brother-sisterly, romantically, whatever.
Imprinting was supposed to be a rare exception, but several of Jacob's pack mates were already imprinted in Eclipse. Jake would eventually imprint, too--on Renesmee, Bella's vampire hybrid daughter.

Imprinting 

Psychologically speaking, imprinting is when a younger person (typically a child) follows in the footsteps of the first person they interact with early in their life. It could be their mother, big brother or big sister. When the child views that person as their role model, they have essentially imprinted onto them. The said child fantasizes about being like their role model, being intimate with their role model (e.g. hugging), and willing to do anything they ask. This happens not only in humans but also in animals (e.g. baby chicks following and copying their mother duck after hatching).

Going off of that, you could say that in general, imprinting is the act of looking up to a person and viewing them as their idol, often to an excessive and subservient degree.
Imprinting often happens when you crush on someone for the first time. You just wanna be like them, be with them, and have everything to do with them. When they're put in the same group as you, you suddenly feel a strong sense of devotion. That is the essence of imprinting.

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!
