Subwoofer Crawl 

A technique used to find the perfect spot in your room for full-sounding bass.
This technique is created by Gene DellaSala, president and Founder/Owner of Audioholics (an online A/V magazine)

The technique involves placing the subwoofer in the spot where you usually sit when watching movies or listening to music, and turning on a fairly bass-heavy test track. Then, crawling around on the floor while listening to where the bass sounds the best. Switching spots with your subwoofer—it should sound about the same.
Mark: I got my new sound system, but am confused where to place the subwoofer for the best sound.
Sami: Easy, do the subwoofer crawl and you will find out.

subwoofer 

1. The best thing ever invented.

2. A speaker that varies in size usually from 8" to 32". The most popular size is 12". They are made to put out the low end of the audio spectrum. They make the low end a.k.a. bass more noticeable and louder and smoother. Playing them loudly is also known as subwoofing, and if your not careful about where you do it, it will make other people mad. Subwoofer's are a great way to attract someone's attention, but just keep in mind thats not always a good thing.
I had my subwoofers working hard to get this girls attention, but at the same time I attracted someone else's attention and it was only a few seconds before I saw the blueberry's and cherry's in my rear view mirrior.

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!
