A 'skerrat' is an ever-more-popular term for a person who is generally insufferable to the point of enraging any reasonable person they meet. Diagnostic criteria dictate that the following two items must be true for someone to qualify as a skerrat:

1) You fucking hate them.
2) You'd smile (or laugh/cheer/wank) if they died.

'Skerrat' derives from a chavvy dialect's mispronunciation of the modern word "scrote", which itself is a derivative of "scrotum", which is again slang for the technical term, "ballsack", or even more properly, "bollocks".
Person one: "You're such a Skerrat."
Person two: "I'm a scrat?"
Person one: "No, 'Skerrat'. You're such a Skerrat."
Person two: "No idea what you're talking about; I must visit Urban Dictionary to find out what you mean."

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!
