The protester formerly known as Sir James and now just as James 

The idea that you must fight corruption (and probably) toasters in any capacity you have, particularly when they occur in government. The calling card of those opposing the toaster revolution, a cause that some say isn't really about kitchen appliances but about hostile governments, evil walrii and vikings under Norway battling for world domination.
The evil walrii, said to already have subversively conquered most of North america, and if they wanted to, Mexico, are secretly infamous for installing fake robot governments and hiding the truth about Canada.
Violent uprisings widely and inaccurately publicized as "elections" or "world summits" demonstrate the public's growing concern at the threat the walrii pose to both humanity and the eyes (they are hideous).
It has been claimed that the protester formerly known as Sir James and now just as James, is a real man, and the leader of the opposition to the toaster revolution, there is much debate on the issue and "what it all means".
Of those that believe he exists some say he is a gentleman and a scholar, others denounce him as merely being drunk.
No one knows where he was born, his age, or his favorite color. Even under torture this information would not be revealed by he or his "associates", or randomly selected members of the public. The mystery remains.
Man, idea or nonsense the name is central in the "toaster revolution" as a symbol against corruption, deceit and all things evil in government and kitchenware stores.
"The protester formerly known as Sir James and now just as James"

"ZZZ-What?!"

"Never mind let's just take over this joint."

"Right"

"OK. In the name of the for-"

"ZZZZZ"

"God dammit!"

Hong Kong protesters 

The Hong Kong protesters are one of the most righteous people in the world. Having had enough of the Hong Kong government's bullshit, they have decided to take to the streets, practically unarmed when compared to their opponent.

However, the Hong Kong government cannot tolerate them, and have pulled out the big guns, like tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons.

During one battle, they have been trapped at the Polytechnic University, in Kowloon for many days. During which, there were several cases of police brutality, but they have not given up, with many other protests that happened even after this incident.
The Hong Kong protesters are so brave!

Fallacy of the predetermined outcome 

A phrase frequently used by Yankees announcer Michael Kay to refer to the flawed logic behind thinking that event x is set in stone and would have happened regardless of all events leading up to it.
Michael kay:” You don’t want to fall victim to the fallacy of the predetermined outcome, but you have to wonder how things are different if the umpire called that pitch a strike.”

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!
