Tetrachromacy
Tetrachromacy is an ability which helps many beings, who are known as tetrachromats, to see a better variety of colors.
That ability is found in animals, in insects and in fish, including some people who usually are women. Researchers believe that those four kinds of cone cells might vary from beings to beings, for example, they help some women to see the blue, the green, the red, and the true yellow color, while some of other beings (non-humans) might see four other different kinds of colors.
In humans, tetrachromacy is not a kind of visual problem, since it does not affect the way they live.
Online tests does not help people to know whether they are tetrachromats because many screens are based on RGB (red, blue, green) systems.
That ability is still being studied, a lot of changes might occur.

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!
