n~ slang. Abbreviation of Parentals meaning Parents. Probably derived from "parental consent".

One of the first recorded uses of the word Parentals was used in the film "Bring it on" in 2000:
"I can't mack on you in front of the parentals" so the shortened version "Rentals" is likely to have come into circulation after that time.

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!
