Officionardo
Somebody who does not completely lord it over all he surveys at the workplace or at a social gathering, but who would like to, he being a sort of “straw-boss” of officious ceremonies or, if not that exactly, something quite close to being so.
I do believe that you’re a bit of an officionardo. I’ve met your kind before, especially in the local Borough Council where you like to stamp every form in sight with a big red stamp and then shove it in the files somewhere, never to be see again.

Officionormativism
A worldview that treats official, hegemonic, and consensus accounts of history, science, and events as identical to reality itself. It is the inverse of conspiracism: where conspiracism sees hidden plots everywhere, officionormativism sees nothing but verified truth in institutional narratives. The officionormativist assumes that whatever is taught in mainstream textbooks, endorsed by scientific consensus, or repeated by government and academic authorities must be the complete and unvarnished truth—any questioning of these accounts is automatically dismissed as conspiracy thinking. While healthy trust in institutions is reasonable, officionormativism becomes a bias when it treats consensus as infallible and dismisses legitimate critique, dissent, or minority perspectives as inherently irrational.
Example: “He insisted that the official report was flawless, that all scientists agreed, and that anyone questioning it was a crackpot. Officionormativism had turned reasonable trust into uncritical deference.”

Officionormativity Theory
A meta‑theory, proposed as the opposite of conspiracy theory, which holds that history, current events, and reality are exactly as presented by hegemonic institutions: official government accounts, scientific consensus as defined by mainstream institutions, and academic consensus as published in elite journals. It treats official narratives as inherently trustworthy and any deviation from them as prima facie irrational or malicious. While conspiracy theory over‑attributes hidden agency, officionormativity under‑attributes it, naturalizing the perspectives of established power. The theory critiques the assumption that “official” equals “true” without critical examination.
Example: “He dismissed all critiques of government surveillance as conspiracy theories—he was operating under officionormativity theory, assuming official accounts were complete and honest.”

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!
