"The Zanes" or "Zanies", a term that originated around the Seattle area. "Zanies" are vapid, superficial young people that are often close-minded and stereotypical, caring about little beyond status and their appearance. Very rich people who care only about money and material things are also called "Zanies". Many Zanes are not malicious, but are always very ignorant.

The saying "Nuke the Zanes!" is a reference to the Zanies, usually used by people who don't approve of the Zany lifestyle.
I grew up in Bellevue, there's nothing but Zanies over there, unlike Seattle.

North Zanesville 

North Zanesville, Ohio. Quite possibly the best unheard of place to live in the United States. Vastly superior to Zanesville and South Zanesville. You know when you hit North Zanesville when the air becomes pure, the people are friendly and you never see a ZPD car anywhere.
1. "Are you from Zanesville or North Zanesville?"

2. "Z-ville."

1. "Oh, alright then...peace out. It's Zanesville by the way, not Z-ville. I don't hang out with want to be gangsters that Zanesville seems to be infested with. I feel dirty even saying the word gangster. Have fun playing with your monopoly money and squirt guns."

Zanesville 

A city in Ohio filled with people who either think they’re country or think they’re a thug. It’s full of drug addicts and imbeciles and nothing good ever really come sour of here. It’s schools suck and don’t do shit so don’t send your kids to them if you’re unlucky enough to find your way here.
Would you ever visit Zanesville? Not a chance in hell.

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!
