major major 

A term coined by Venus Raj, as first heard during the question and answer portion of the 2010 Miss Universe Pageant.

It comes from the root word "bonggang bongga", a term commonly used in Filipino gayspeak, which means "extravagantly extravagant", "outlandishly outlandish", or "exuberantly exuberant".
"It's not a major major mistake, unless you say it in national television."

William Baldwin: "What's the biggest mistake that you've made in your life and what did you do to make it right?"

Venus: "You know what, Sir, in my 22 years of existence, I can say that there's nothing major major problem that I've done in my life because I'm very confident with my family, with the love that they are giving to me. So thank you so much that I'm here. Thank you, thank you so much!"

This was taken from the common trait of the language of Filipino or some south east asians which repeats the adjective to make it more intense.

literal tagalog translation: malaking-malaki (huge)
In my years of existence in this world, i have not yet encountered one major-major problem in my life, and I thank God for that.

Filipino translation:
Sa mga taon kong inilagi sa mundo, hindi pa ako nakakaranas ng malaking-malaking suliranin sa buhay at ito'y aking ipinagpapasalat sa Panginoong Diyos.

The Nigger Larry 'Boys Town' Major 

Boys Town in Omaha, Nebraska is a legend with its history of helping to change the lives of many troubled youth and has long been a tradition in Omaha. But it did fail with regards to one ex-resident still living in Omaha, who still proves to be a menace to those that encounter him in situations that cannot be avoided. Larry Major is one example of a failure that requires Boys Town to swallow their pride. We don’t know what criteria are used by Boys Town to determine if someone is suitable to be returned to society, but it is a fact that this one extreme defect managed to slip by their scrutiny. Considering what they had to work with, they probably could only do just so much, to draw a good analogy; like trying to rescue a rabid dog. This miserable aberration however should not be considered a reflection on the fine work this institution continues to practice.
The Nigger Larry 'Boys Town' Major reaffirms the fact that even the best institution cannot reform a miserable pathetic creature that will never under any circumstances be acceptable by any society.

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!
