Mastering Engineering 

An online homework program designed to rob college students of their hard-earned money and serve as a crutch for professors too lazy to write their own homework assignments or to teach. Its purpose, beyond making millions for the publishing company, is apparently to reduce the number of engineering graduates in the United States by utterly demoralizing and destroying their confidence in an effort to force them to drop the program and/or kill themselves.

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!
