A cocktail popularized by Seattle technologists and hipsters in the early 2000's consisting of one part vodka, one part whiskey, and one part tomato juice; garnished with celery, parsley, and sea salt. Intended to challenge to the gustatory fortitude of the drinker, legend has it that drinking a van Showen to completion brings seven years of good luck.

That van showen was the best cocktail I've ever had!

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!
