Slacktivist

Those that believe they deserve what they get because they “showed up”. What, earn a living by working hard, not me!
I hired a couple of slacktivists and and now I cannot fire them without a boatload of "write ups." Gotta prove they are worthless. Come see me in my office. What? Where are you...in HR? Yeah so they can coddle your lazy ass and make it impossible to get rid of you. Pinhead!

keyboard slacktivist 

An activist interested in any social issue who fails to actively participate in person as a change agent. Instead, this kind of activist sits behind a computer keyboard trying to effect change using social media as their sole forum for activism. These activists are not actively engaged in the cause in person or in a physical sense.
Some protesters picketed the company to try to get the company to change their ways, while the keyboard slacktivists took up the cause by posting only on Twitter and Facebook.

snacktivist 

A group of snack loving individuals who came together early in 2016 in the name of clowning YallQaeda. They are a diverse group, and there are rumors they may be agents of some shadow arm of the US government, perhaps well paid trolls bent on destroying the so-called militia in Burns, Oregon. They love snacks and they worship a deity named simply "Mildred". Not much else is known about this secretive group.
Snacktivists worship Mildred.

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!
