Camera Whoring

People who post a crap load of images of themselves online and say that they're ugly, so that they're friends can tell them otherwise. Most of these camera whores consist of overly concerned teenage girls who shamelessly spam edited pictures of themselves on several different social networking sites, most commonly Facebook. These girls practically live off of the responses they get from comments, always thriving on comments such as "NO, NO YOU'RE NOT UGLY DON'T SAY THAT" or "girl, u better not say ur ugly, ur gorgeousssss. :) "

Differentiating a picture that was created by a Camera whore:

- Taken in front of a mirror with a cellphone or camera in hand.

- Taken from weird angles.

- Are edited by usage of color, captions, stickers, etc.

- Some girls duck face or peace sign.

- Contained in an album where thousands of other pictures of themselves doing the same thing, in the same location are found.

- (for guys) Usually stand showing off their muscles that are somewhat nonexistent unless they're flexing.

It's self explanatory, yes. I mean, if you think you're ugly, then you shouldn't be posting a bunch of pictures of yourself, just like a camwhore.
Camera whoring-girl: *taking pictures of myself, duck sign, peace sign, everything*

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!
