Penn Christmas 

The practice of dumpster diving around University of Pennsylvania facilities and Dorms. This usually can be done with out any shame, since the general stereotype of people that go to UPenn is that of rich if not financially stable families. This activity is also based of the stereotype of rich and financially stable people being extremely wasteful. Throwing out a red ring of death xbox 360 instead of ebaying it or attempting to fix it is an example of the wastefulness that can result in a Penn Christmas

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!
