Wood wide web 

The idea that the roots of neighboring trees can be connected by fungal filaments, forming massive underground networks that can span entire forests, similar to internet architecture.

When people speak of the wood-wide web, they are generally referring to the resulting system of interconnected tree roots called a common mycorrhizal network, or CMN. But there’s very little that scientists can say with certainty about how, and to what extent, trees interact via CMNs.

The idea of the wood wide web has inspired many narratives in books, TV, and other media, despite little or no experimental evidence to back up their claims.
The survival horror video game series The Last of Us uses the idea of a wood wide web to drive its narrative by featuring zombies that are controlled by a fungi host. It’s a compelling story, but many mycologists and scientists no longer believe in the scientific claims about fungal networks that inspired its zombie apocalypse.

Wood wide web 

Contrary to popular believe (see: ala mode), the Wood wide web's nonsensical capitalization structure is purpose built for it's own rationale. You see that the wood can be utilized, speaks to human's ownership of the domain of Earth. The wideness of this expanse, speaks to the spooky incantation which follows it. That is to say, we have not uncovered all rocks, harvested all grain, plowed and fertilized all soil. And, while this may be scary in that Brown Recluse Spiders are all around us, wanting to murder us for our existent nature--they mostly love in the woods, protecting their own webs. . ."mostly"
Eric Cartman is a proud user of the Www to. . .uh justify bully in the Wood wide web. Like a comment bullying a bully--which in this case, the thought completes itself. (I.e. : "I have evidence, and I'll use it!" )

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!
