Long-term commuting from somewhere between the Southwestern, South, southeastern or east coast to somewhere in the northwestern coast.
I went to Florida after living in Southern California. Me, Stephanie, and two other friends were gonna fly northwest from LAX until I heard everything closed as there were flurries.
The area of Houston that consists of Spring, Katy, Cypress, and Tomball. Katy is northwest because it goes beyond I-45 North but goes on the west side. Spring is northwest because it goes beyond I-10, which is northwest.
"Hey where you from"
"Houston"
"Like Northwest Houston"
"Oh my god I'm gonna kill myself"
"Don't do that"
"Nah imma do it"
A mix of Chicago and the rest of Indiana in one. Often called The Region. Certain areas are more like Chicago and certain areas are more like the rest of Indiana. To people in Northwest Indiana, Indianapolis is in the south. This part of Indiana doesn't fit in really and sorta stands alone. Many Chicagoians hate people from here because they claim to know about the city and its struggles. The rest of Indiana is baffled by how different northwest Indiana is.

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!
