Hideki Tojo was the Japanese Prime Minister who ordered the attack on Pearl Harbor. "Tojo" became the personification of the "evil Japanese" in anti-Japanese propaganda during WW II. His caricature was often shown in posters with outsized ears, squinty eyes and enormous buck teeth, "thanking" Americans who failed to recycle metal, wasted food or did other things that were detrimental to the war effort. He also appeared in several pretty racist Warner Brothers cartoons. After the war (and Tojo's execution), "Tojo" pretty much died out as an anti-Japanese slur.
Tojo says "thanks for throwing away that can"! (Americans were supposed to recycle steel cans to support the war effort)

A racist term for a japanese person. Tojo was really the last name of a major figurehead of the Japanese empire during WWII, named Hideki Tojo. But during the 40's or perhaps before, this was taken up as a racist slang word against japanese. Tojo, like any other racist slur against japanese people, can also be used against a chinese or korean person, but it furthers ignorance of the sayer greatly.
"That fuckin' tojo..."

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!
