Cylinder shaped cord residence hall at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Virtually everyone that does not go to the school refers to this building as "the beer can" but no one who goes there actually does. The 12 floors alternate between boys and girls. This residence hall is known for exorbitant amounts of dorm drinking and is where all the stoners and belligerent drinkers live. You can catch kids shotgunning beers in the showers or yacking in the communal bathroom. Overall a wonferful place to live with a great community feel to it that is accepting of everyone.
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!
