To background obsess is to obsess over something or someone while still carrying on with your daily life. You continue to fulfill your daily tasks and obligations without a noticeable decrease in mindfulness or attentiveness, but the object of your obsession is never far from your mind, and you often find yourself thinking about it/them without consciously having meant to.

Progressive Anime Girl Obsession

Progressive Anime Girl Obsession (PAGO) is when someone constantly becomes heavily attached or obsessed with an anime girl for a short period of time only to switch to a different anime girl repeatedly.

Some symptoms include constantly thinking about or imagining oneself in fantasies with the character, searching for and downloading a large amount of artwork, and talking about the character too much around friends.

PAGO can commonly be found in people with high emotional capacity or those who relate or attach easily to new characters. It can also be sexually driven among those who consume a surplus of hentai or other Japanese erotic art.

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!
