Body Electric

Based on writings of sci-fi author Ray Bradbury and his titular and only episode of Twilight Zone, "I Sing The Body Electric", it denotes the act of replacing an important person or part in life with the likeness of a machine, thus creating a parasocial bond with a machine instead of the real thing, e.g. replacing a mother or caretaker with a robot.
It also implies that a robot can replace the recipient position in sexual acts and thus also can enjoy these acts. Various transmutations of acts exist between machine and man, machine and machine, Mann vs Machine, or only machine.
Guy 1: "Dude my wife died two months ago, I can't go on like this, I am miserable all the time and I can't go on without her."
Guy 2: "How about you get one of them robot caretaker thingies? I think that could help you get out of your ditch."
Guy 1: "I know my life is a mess and it won't bring her back, nothing will replace her but I see my life needs some order right now."
Guy 2:"Plus you can sing the body electric with it and that's hot."

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!
