A Murphy 

Noun. When a man is set up to be robbed, the victim thinks he is going to meet a woman. Typically done when a woman sets up a man, asking him to come over, but another man or group shows up to rob him. More rarely, a man will catfish another man by pretending to be an attractive or easy woman to get a man's address or get that man to come to a sketchy location. Not a scam, this is always done in person.

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!
