Insultation

Congratulations, but in a very insulting way.
The tech lead just received 7 awards to her name. Everyone on the Board of Directors congratulated her, but she's still struggling to pay rent on her 600 sqft apartment.

Such an insultation.

insultation period 

In a corporate setting, when making staff redundant, there is a legal requirement to pretend that the proposed staff cuts are merely being considered, and have not formally been decided on. There is a gap of several weeks “consultation period” between the announcement and the actual redundancies taking effect. During this period people who are about to be summarily executed get several weeks to be repeatedly asked how they “feel about the changes”. Since this “consultancy” is entirely fictitious, and is in fact a patronising artefact of gormless corporate stupidity , it is more accurately referred to as the “insultation period”.
Fuck me, I’ve just been made redundant after 10 years service! I just have to endure the insultation period for the next 2 weeks, but then I bring in the wheelbarrow to pick up my payout!_

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!
