In Asian dramas this is Seconf Lead Syndrome. There are the two main leads that are destined to be together but you always have some poor, handsome secondlead whofalls for the main lead. While they may be winning with the main lead for a while, they almost always lose in the end. SLS applies to the either female or male second lead, but usually more sympathy is felt for a male secondlead. A lot of female second leads come off bitchy and cunning.
Friend: *crying* '"noooo, this can't be"
Friend#2: "What"
Friend: "My ship is destined to sink and never become cannon, why did I fall for the second lead"
Friend#2: "I think you have come down with a classic case of SLS"
Friend: "Not second lead syndome, nooooooo"

A fisherman's term meaning "sore lip syndrome". This commonly occurs 1. When a fish is caught and thrown back. 2. When fish is hooked but gets off the hook. 3. When nothing bites in a specific area because a big shot fisherman was there recently and hooked all of them. SLS can last for a good while. Unless the fish are dumb, and you're just lucky.
Example 1. Yeah nobody will catch him again for a while. That fish has SLS.
Example 2. Aw man he was a big one too. He won't bite again because of his SLS.
Example 3. Man the fish really aren't biting today. They may just have SLS from yesterday's fishing tournament.

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!
