Reality Maintaining Words 

The set of words which (established and) maintain reality.
"Could we change reality by suppressing, hiding, or extricating the Reality Maintaining Words?", asked Professor Spot Tricks. "How many RMWs are there anyway?" Asked Joe. "How many RMWs do you estimate there are", asked Dick. "How many RMWs do you estimate exist", asked Bernd. The instructor commended Bernd because "exist" is concise, whereas "there are" is prolix, and clarified that listing all the RMWs would exact mountains of time, so it is more likely that only an estimate, not a specific number, could be achieved. Then she asked the students, "And could we change reality by promoting the use of a different set of words?" "Yes", said most students. "What would you call those words?" "Reality Correcting Words", said Sally.

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!
