A Better way (or codename) to say Mexican. When around a lot of Mexicans and you are talkin shit or just plain talkin about them, you use the word Manikin instead of Mexican. Pronounced like the word "Mannequin" (man-i-kin). It can also be used in plural form ex. Manikins.
Damn Look at all these Manikins on the Venice Metro Bus.

Wow!!! look at all those kids! Whose are those? I Think they're the black guy's. No!! They all belong to the Manikin in the Alligator tank top with a matching Ostrich skin Belt.

This is a Chinese restaurant right? If the doorman is Chinese, the servers are Chinese, even the guy who works the bathroom is Chinese, then why are there all these Manikins cooking in the kitchen.

I've been out of town for 3 months and WOW !! What a great job the Manikins did on the garden. They really know how to cut grass.

Fred the Manikin 

A character in the movie I Am Legend. Fred is a manikin set up by Robert Neville (Will Smith) to act as a human stand-in as he is the last man on earth.

A following has been following Fred as people have noticed a slight head-movement from the plastic manikin, along with his torso suddenly and subtley rising after he was shot by Robert.

Most say the head movement was to illustrate Robert Neville's going insane as something that hasn't moved in three years was suddenly someplace else. And the rising torso is that it was shot down into a puddle, making it bob.
Dude, I think there's a Fred the Manikin around, I think I just saw something move!

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!
