Rory in the Gilmore Girls, (referencing the 1973 movie Paper Moon), says that bringing an article of clothing back to a store to return multiple times, will lead the sales clerk into believing that Rory is "paper-mooning them".

Turbo tax is trying to paper-moon me by pretending that the free edition is always free; that's why they hide the Freedom version on a separate website!
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!
