Scratched 

(Figurative meaning). To be worried about something, especially when it involves overthinking about it.

A (metaphorically) scratched person is kinda like a scratched CD that gets stuck in one place and repeats the same sound over and over. By extension, a scratched person will be brooding in the same thing for hours. No one can stop them.

Most people get scratched about irrelevant matters, for example, about that stupid thing they said to their crush.
“Hey, are you coming to the party tonight?”
“I dunno, I’m scratched cause I don’t wanna see my ex there”.

“C’mon!”

Scratched 

(Figurative meaning). To be worried about something, especially when it involves overthinking about it.

Like a scratched CD gets stuck in one place and repeats the same sound over and over, a (metaphorically) scratched person broods on something for hours and hours, wondering and worrying too much about it.

Usually people get scratched about small matters, like that stupid thing they said to their crush and they regret. However, it's possible to get scratched about important things, for example, a final exam that went horrible.
- Hey bro, are you coming to the party tonight?
- I dunno if I should cause my ex might be there... I'm getting very scratched about it.
- C'mon...

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!
