Thesaurusized

A) To use way too many words when just a few will do, thus, meekly, trying to project an image of experience and knowledge where such does not exists, or has been mis-integrated by the user, causing a belief it is quantity which rules, not the quality and directness of the prose or verbal discription, thus generating the stench of verbal or written diarrhea to permeate the area or writing.

Thesaurused

To use the thesaurus for every second word in order to make yourself sound smarter or to take up space and make an essay longer.

"I walked slowly down the street to school" becomes "I sauntered languorously down the boulevard to the establishment of education" (this is overly thesaurused)

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!
