"(...) Three weeks of non-stopt rain!... I'd better find shelter before too long... It doesn´t look like i'll make it to the outpost tonight..."(Cerebus 5, by Dave Sim)
A generic, and sometimes humorous, reply to someone who took way too much time describing something, while the description would've been sufficiently clear and complete with less words. The term is both used by impatient kids when they can't concentrate long enough to read more then two sentences, and the more intelligent generation-X poster when the "long post" in question could've been described just as well, but much shorter, this comment can be taken either way.
Also a reply to long, attention-whorey spam topics.

Phrase often used on internet message boards to indicate that the poster felt that the previous post addressing him was too long, and therefore he did not read it.
These long posts generally contain a variety of carefully and maturely presented facts on the topic at hand, intended to provide an argument against the poster's views. These posts are generally too long and too content-filled for today's average Joe Internet who is always on the go and never posts more than two lines at a time.
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!
