Zoom University 

Because of the COVID pandemic in 2020, all schools switched over to a business meeting app called "Zoom" to teach. Note that the app also lets you turn off your camera, microphone, and 90% of the time the teacher doesn't give a shit what you're doing anyways. This was CLEARLY a great idea.

Zoom University 

When most, if not all, of your classes take place online while predominantly relying on the video conferencing platform Zoom. We can all thank Covid-19 for this mess.
“Dude I barely learn anything with online classes and half of my professors don’t even know what they’re doing. Zoom University is a joke.”

“Agreed. If I knew all of my classes would be forced to go online again at the last minute I would’ve stayed home this fall. I’m tired of this Zoom University shit and can’t wait for everything to be normal again.”

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!
