Wednesday Bubism

Wednesday Bubism is the act of partaking in what would seem to be an extravagant weekend outing on a Wednesday, in order to alleviate the pain of all the pressures that life throws at you. A central aspect of Wednesday Bubism, apart from getting intoxicated, is taking vast amounts of cocaine throughout the outing, with lines being referred to as 'pythons' due to their immense size.

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!
