the more you know 

A reference to NBC public service announcements which would feature celebrities reciting a random (usually touching) fact, followed by the statement, "The More You Know."

Thus, a person may say this after reciting something that is not necessarily useful to the listener. It may also indicate that the user does not expect a response from the listener.

Often rendered like a tag, e.g. #themoreyouknow.
Phil: Sup dude?
Bryan: chilling.
Bryan: brb, gotta poop
Bryan: The more you know.
Phil: ...

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!
