screechling 

A small child given to running around screaming. Unlike well-socialized children, who only scream when under duress (injury, physical attack by a large snake) a screechling will emit earbleeding screams apparently just to hear the sound of its own voice. These are often found in small packs in shopping malls and supermarkets, usually accompanied by mothers who barely acknowledge the screechlings' existence.
"Gads, did you hear the little screechling in the mall elevator? I think it ruptured my left eardrum. I don't scream that loud during an orgasm for crying out loud."

Gay Screech 

Synonymous with 'Gay Panic', defined as the high-pitched voice-cracking screech a gay produces when they're in a fit of chaotic gay panic.

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!
