keelah se'lai 

A common Quarian phrase, from the video game trilogy Mass Effect, meaning "By the home world I hope to see one day." Exiled from their homeworld, the Quarians (an alien race known for their technological genius) have lived as space-nomads for about three centuries. Like the phrase "peace be with you", the phrase "keelah se'lai" can mean many things. But whether to express surprise, happiness, or frustration - for them to swear on their homeworld is the meaningful expression they have.
to an army waiting to massacre a synthetic race that drove them from their homeworld, although, ha-ha-ha, they claim to be peaceful now, a frustrated soldier says: "The enemy doesn't want to fight you! If you can believe that for just one minute, this war will be over. You have a choice. Please. Keelah Se'lai."

Storekeeper: "I didn't know what the fuck a 'syggelekokle' was, so I just gave him some teip-rests."
Customer: "I don't know what he gave me, but it was wrong. So I just had to take a wild shot, so I just said the word 'kamelåså'..."

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!
