bogtrotter 

A person that loves cake and is capable of eating it in large quantities.

This use of the word originates from the character Bruce Bogtrotter from Roald Dahl's Matilda, who steals a piece of The Trunchbull's chocolate cake, and is consequently required to eat the whole thing as punishment (but he manages this without too much difficulty, to the Trunchbull's annoyance).
"Do you like cake, Bogtrotter?"

bogtrotter 

Bawg-trau-ter
Origianlly a very derogatory word for an Irishman, not always used as an insult nowadays.
in the 1700s-1800s, the English often referred to the Irish they oppressed as "uncivilized bogtrotters", as the English have historically had the habit of calling anyone of a different nationality "uncivilized".

bogtrotters 

A derogatory term for a large group of inept northerrn UK mountain bikers, the sort who need to pad up to ride off a kerb, and get off and push up it. While this could be covered by the term "all the gear no idea", the important distinction is the sheer number of these bikers-cum-walkers gathered together in one place blocking the trail for people who can actually ride and making the case for more relaxed gun laws in the UK.

See also singletrackworld.
"So many people turned up to ride last night it nearly turned into a bogtrotters ride."

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!
