y'alling 

When having a cell phone conversation the person on the other end of the call says y'all (alternatively spelled as yall) every few words in a desperate attempt to sound southern when in actuality they are from somewhere like New York. For people who say y'all naturally (i.e. real southerners), this is a painful conversation.

It is important to note that this particular "y'all" is obviously fake and can be distinguished by such characteristics as a noticeable pause between the "y" and the "all" because the poser cannot even grasp the basic pronunciation of the word, and by their grammatically incorrect use of it to refer to only one person, when in fact y'all is one of the contracted forms of the second person plural "you all."
(On cell phones.)

Poser: Hey Y'ALL, how are Y'ALL doing? Y'ALL, I was just calling to tell Y'ALL that I wanted Y'ALL to do me a favor. Could Y'ALL... (it can go on forever!)

Poser's Dad: What the hell? You're from New York. Stop y'alling, you poser! *Hangs up in frustration.*

Well-known from the phrase "Allons-y, Alonso" (Alonso is a name). Made famous in English by the tenth doctor on Doctor Who though he was actually quoting the character Ferdinand in the '60s French film Pierrot le fou, where the subtitles translate it as "let's go, daddy-o."

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!
