Brahms is a replacement for certain words that have lost their meaning. Brahms replaces words such as Bro, Dude or Man. It is used because these words are no longer able to represent the closeness between any two individuals.

The word stems from the German composer Johannes Brahms, it is used as a replacement word because Brahms on some smart phones was the auto-correct of Bro.

Variations of the word include Broham and Brohemians.
Broham 1: 'Hey Brahms did you get the poptarts?'
Broham 2: 'Yeah Brahms'

Broham: 'My fellow Brohemians, its time to rock.'

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!
