Lingerberry 

Like a dingleberry (a resistant piece of fecal matter stuck to your anal/gooch hair, very hard to remove, etc) a lingerberry is the guy/girl of the group that is generally unwanted. They are just standing around, being antisocial, not contributing, and being all around weird. Usually, no one has the heart to tell them/ask them to leave. Lingerberry's always include themselves in other's plans, completely uninvited.
Miller: Why's he here? He's not even doing anything and no one invited him, he won't leave us alone!

Zerab: I know, I want to tell him but I don't want to sound rude. He's such a lingerberry, it's so annoying.

linger wraith

The smell of a sinister fart, long after it was released from the bowels of its purgatorial last resting place. So potent is a linger wraith that it can cling to a man's nose hairs on a rooftop in a strong wind for more than 2 hours! A linger wraith was said to have been so powerful, that after being released from its bondage in King Tut's Tomb, it still roams the earth to this very day unable to dissipate into rarity and is still claiming unsuspecting victims in every corner of the world. Clearly it's existence is a supernatural phenomenon.
victim: "Whoa the linger wraith from that incident at Taco Bell still haunts this room...!"

perpetrator: "yeah, I cut that one over four days ago!"

victim: "...Funny, how it seems to only to return in your presence and fade in you absence..."

perp: "...uh, yeah... pretty funny..."

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!
