PHONE CHECK 

Originally derived from the term used in a detention setting, like prison, when numerous individuals are made to share a limited number of telephones. When all the telephones are in use and another believes that it is his/her time to now take the opportunity to use the phone, and one of the individuals using the phone should end their call. In that case one would go to the the individual using the telephone and let them know that they need to relinquish (get off) the telephone by simpling stating the phrase "Phone check" and if that individual refuses then s/he could face repercussions(consequences) that come with the refusal, up to and including being murdered. A phone check itself is NOT a stabbing. A stabbing, beating, rape, or any violate act can be RESULT of a phone check.
"Phone check, homie", means get off the phone now!

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!
