backstalking 

The act of resurfacing old, embarassing, teen angst selfies, pictures, and statuses of people on Facebook by commenting on their timeline content from years before. The act of backstalking pulls old content to the newsfeed for enjoyment in the present. The best way to formulate a backstalk comment is to sarcastically act as if the status is from the present when clearly it is not and mimic the tone of the status or picture.
Backstalking:
*Status from 2009*: ROCKATHON ROCKATHON ROCKATHON ROCKATHON ROCKATHON ROCKATHON ROCKATHOOOOOOONNNNNN
Comment in the present: hey is rockathon going on?

*Status from 2008*: Jst got my permit omgg!
Comment in the present: Can you give me a ride to Rockathon?

*Status from 2009*: Some ppl jst need to grow up... u kno who u r. Goin to bed now, txxt.
Comment in present: omg u ok? txting now

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!
