A word or phrase which, when uttered aloud, is sure to cause offense or a fight, especially a vulgar ethnic epithet spoken to a member of the group to which it refers.
"Then he said the Magic Word and the fun started -- five minutes later that bar was wrecked and someone's head had been pushed into the deep fat fryer. We left just ahead of the cops, the firemen, and the ambulance."

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.
