Ohhh Not Good (ONG) text

A text to the wrong person or containing subject matter that was not intended for the respective audience.
I sent an invitation for a date to my baby momma instead of my boo. I thought I was asking my boo about going to Applebees to get that Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake and then I realized it was the baby momma and immediately realized I sent the wrong text to the wrong person and wrote Ohhh Not Good (ONG) text. She knew what I did and asked for the child support money.

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!
