A half drank or nearly full beer (most of the time, cheap domestic beer) which was opened and quickly put down and forgotten about by a drunken party goer who has already moved on to crack open another beer (possibly another potential future Jonesie).
(Not to be confused with a fallen soldier, Jonesies are salvageable and especially welcome when found after the liquor store has closed or a party has disbanded)
When everyone at the party left when the booze ran out, I was able to keep getting drunk off of all of the Jonesies that were left behind.

Pacman Jonesin' 

To be in the state of perpetual ghetto thugishness, despite having millions of dollars. To believe that the system is biased against you, while in reality the system has paid you enough to take care of your family for generations. To continually act foolish, immature, and angry; possess handguns for show; use drugs; spend hundreds of thousands on clothes while your former neighbors get their heat shut off; and basically ignore societies laws and norms, while hard-working middle-class Americans who live paycheck to paycheck find a way to obey the law. To be a 16-year-old angst-ridden thug crybaby in a 24-year-old multi-millionaire body. Termed after Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones.
The potential for millions of dollars and an NFL career wasn't enough for Maurice Clarett, who was Pacman Jonesin' around in his SUV one night when he was pulled over wearing Kevlar body armor and possessing an open bottle of Grey Goose vodka, a hatchet, three semi-automatic 9mm pistols, and a loaded AK-47 variant.

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!
