Working on Laptops 

a phrase that means "Having homosexual relations".

They couldn't come up with a valid excuse for what happened and tried to cover up the event (very poorly I might add).
Boss: "What the hell where you two doing in the stock room together!?"

HomoA: "Uh.... we were arguing..."

HomoB: "We were Working on Laptops! Yeah! That's it..."

Working on the boat 

Working on the boat is a euphemism for masturbating. Our friend would give an excuse for not hanging out with us by saying that, "he was working on the boat". Eventually we got so bothered by his "working on the boat" that we went to his house and asked his mother and she told us that he was in the bathroom. However he didn't exit the bathroom for 45 minutes. Thus he was "working on the boat".
Person 1: Hey were going over to my house, want to come?
Person 2: Sorry, I gotta work on the boat.

Person 1: Where were you man?
Person 2: Sorry, I was at my house working on the boat.

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!
