Melanincholy 

A state of sadness caused by witnessing black people suffer.

Melanincholy is a result of systemic racism, the continuing economic inequalities, the white racist ideologies and attitudes created to maintain and rationalize white privilege and power, and last but not least, the police brutalities towards black people.
Black girl: Hey what's wrong? You seem down?

White man: I just watched a video of black man getting beaten to death by the cops. I feel sad, depressed, angry and I want to do something about it, but I don't know what to do.

Black woman: Ah, you're feeling melanincholy.

White man: Dude! That's exactly how I feel. Thank you for explaining my feelings to me. I feel so much better now. I'm going to post a black square on Instagram! #BLACKLIVESMATTER

Black Woman: That's amazing! What would we do without you.

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!
