PlayMesh 

A paint-by-numbers developer for the iPhone and iPod touch. Spends more time creating 10-20 different versions of "iMafia" and less time making sure their apps perform well, don't freeze, and go out of sync with the server. The epitome of quantity over quality.

Nothing original becomes of this company. The squandered "talent" (using the term loosely) of the developers is used to make something already made again and again (like Mafia Wars/Mobsters games). They create different iterations of said game ad-nauseum, including, but not limited to iPirates, Race Wars, Vampires, Ninjas, Wizards, and Heroes. All the same exact game play save different names and terminology. Be advised that if you are considering working for this company, your initiation may include burning an iPhone in effigy and programming another version of iMafia.
PlayMesh has a lot of games in the iTunes store that all do the same thing: crash, run poorly when they're not crashing, and behave exactly like iMafia if you were paying attention.

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!
