An exclamation used during the time of the Black Plague in order to let people know that the cart for dead bodies was passing by. Anyone who had a friend or housemate that had recently died of the plague would literally "bring out their dead" and throw the person on top of the pile.
The grisly call of "Bring out your dead!" was one of the defining moments of 14th-century Europe.
Verb. To make an already strange/creepy/outrageous situation much more so. From Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. After Ving Rhames and Bruce Willis were captured at the pawn shop; the two crackers brought out a ball-gagged, leather-clad prisoner--and things got really wierd.

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.

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!
