A suburban, white guy, usually over the age of 30, who lives in a basement apartment. He doesn't have a steady job, can't get a date, and listens to 80's power ballads on his stereo while cooking mac and cheese on a hot plate. Throw a mullet haircut and a possible substance abuse problem and you get the picture. This dude this also known as a basement dweller.
Jack Martin was a typical cellar dweller - no girl, no money, no job, no ambition - just his basement apartment which smelled like mildew, cigarette smoke, and semen.
An inhabitant or permanent resident of a room or group of rooms below the ground level and usually under a building often a relative or child turned adult that refuses to leave the parentshome.
After seeing the empty pantry, refrigerator and the recent electric bill Dad turned to Mom and said, " This is outrageous, tell cellar-dweller he needs to get a job and pay room and board we cannot afford him anymore."
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!
