“No sabo” is a term used to refer to people born in the United States of Hispanic descent as people who speak Spanish like a Jerome on LSD, meaning they come up with their own Spanish words that don’t make any sense. A no sabo isn’t born a “no sabo”, they’re made. In other words, No Sabo speak Spanish worse than a toddler born in a Spanish speaking country.
Juan: ¿Donde están las llaves? (Where are the keys?)
Edgar: No Sabo. (I doesn’t know)

As you can see, Edgar answered to Juan with “I doesn’t know” which sounds dumb asf, that’s why real Hispanics make fun of no sabo kids, they can’t speak Spanish well.

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!
