The Free Speech Maneuver 

A situation in when a person comments on another person's comment/opinion/statement/sentence and that other person claims they "have free speech and a right to an opinion" but then makes a biased claim stating that because of their free speech rights, that person should respect and not make comments about their comment/opinion/statement/sentence. Little does that person know is that Free Speech is a double standard.
Person 1: "I don't like black people."
Person 2: "Well I don't like you and I think your opinion sucks."

Person 1: "Hey this is America! I have free speech so shut up you asshole!"

Person 2: "Here we go again, The Free Speech Maneuver..."

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!
