Roflcopyer 

1. A type of spelling error that usually occurs when someone attempts to type "ROFLCOPTER" but instead hits the "y key" instead of the "t key" and spells "ROFLCOPYER" instead.

2. The mighty and majestic copier that floats upon eastern winds wreaking havoc upon the lands with its ink rain and blinding light. Caution must be used when approaching the roflcopyer for it uses treachery to mimic and deceive it's pursuers. Legend has it that if one is able to catch the roflcopyer they will be granted the power to create copies of themselves. The number of copies that can be made is unknown but legend says it is enough to conquer the world.

(Please note it is understood that copyer is technically spelled copier)
1. *During a wmw* " HAHAH FEAR MY ROFLCOPYERS! shit i mean ROFLCOPTERS!"

2. "Flee villagers! FLEE! The mighty roflcopyer is upon us!"

roflcopter 

Invented by a Blizzard moderator on the Warcraft III forum. There is always much whining going on on those official forums, much sucking up to moderators and an awful lot of 'BLUE!!! PLZ REPLY!!!1one' (Blue = color of moderator posts), so when a mod posts something, you can bet there'll be thousands of people jumping on it, if only to spam 'BLUE FIX GARGZ PLZZZZ' or 'first reply woooot!' after it in the vain hope that the mod will read it and react.

So when one invented this new buzzword, it was grabbed and squeezed out and spread like a virus across all of the Blizzard forums and from there over the internet.

The word is derived from a unit in Warcraft III, the gyrocopter (flying machine). Your immediate response when someone masses gyros (to be funny, ruin the game, mess around or whatever) is to rofl for ten straight minutes until the copters of doom and destruction have pinpricked 1 of your 20 farms to death with their uber godly bombs.

Now mostly used in Blizzard circles as a leeter version of rofl.
'...and this guy said I could reduce lag by up to 100% by hitting alt-F4. I did and the game closed on me. This is griefing, admins plz ban'

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!
