Someone from the suburbs who thinks they're ghetto. Most often, burbies can be spotted in low-crime neighborhoods sagging their pants and wearing snapbacks and talking a hoodish slang. Burbies tend to travel in packs, calling eachother "nigga" and will often be found skating or biking. Another name that is used to describe burbies is swagfags, however they can be differentiated in some cases. If you confront a burbie about them being in middle/upper class and not being in a ghetto area, they will get aggressive and act offended and try to defend their ground, stating that their suburban town is, indeed, a ghetto, which shows their insecurity.

Refer to wigger as another definition of this word. The only difference is that burbies can be all races, not just white.
Decent person: Why are you sagging your pants?
Burbie: Nigga ima get my boys on yo white ass, don't y'all mess with me
Decent person: Dude, you're white, too, and you live in upper class. You're Italian.

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!
