Locro is a traditional South American food popular in the countries that lie along the Cordillera of the Andes Mountains. Locro can be compared to a thick stew or chili. The name comes from the Incan language, Quecha. Locro is a particularly popular dish in Ecuador and Argentina. In these countries, locro is not only a food, but also a custom. Locro was eaten by native peoples of South America previous to the time of Spanish colonization, and continues to be a popular customary dish as of the 21st century.
In Argentina, for example, locro is consumed during “fiestas patrias,” or patriotic holidays. Since it is served hot, locro is usually eaten during the winter months. Another reason that locro is a traditionally wintertime food may be that it is particularly high in calories and nutrients. Thus, in areas where winters are cold enough to affect the availability of food, locro can be a particularly rich source of nutrition.
An uber version of the up and coming word "locovore", which is an individual devoted to supporting his local economy by eating locally grown produce, supporting regional artists, and shopping at small businesses.

Man what a crazy locowhore! He'll only eat what's grown in Wisconsin which means another long Winter of potatoes, dairy, and beer.
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!
