Baba Booey 

The nickname given to Howard Stern’s Producer Gary Dell'Abate. It originated on The Howard Stern Show on July 26, 1990, after mispronouncing Quick Draw McGraw's sidekick Baba Looey as "Baba Booey". The rest of the crew busted his chops mercilessly. Speaking to Howard at the end of the show, Dell'Abate said, "I think we've taken this as far as it will go." Howard Stern replied, "Gary, we've only scratched the surface of this." Dell'Abate is still Baba Booey to this day. "Baba Booey" is also a mantra for the fans of The Howard Stern Show.

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!
