A total bummer. Used most regularly by teenage, bro-type males to describe failed vodka-fueled hook ups or parties, but can also describe daily annoyances.
Bro 1: Yo, I was legit gonna tap that, but then she threw up all over herself and then she "wasn't in the mood anymore."
It's 'ol Buzz Killington, the old guy with a top hat that appears when you are having a crazyparty. Basically he stops the drinking/smoking and proceeds to describe sketches of english people on bikes.
Peter: ''Man, that buzz kill was almost as bad as when Buzz Killington showed up at that party.'' (Cut away)
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!
