Demotion Fetish: Sexual arousal from treating or being treated like someone of lower social status: being treated like a servant in your own home, or being treated like a prostitute by your own spouse.
"I go over to his place, put on this silly maid's uniform, and clean up, even though I have a housekeeper of my own. Being under his domination turns me on -- I guess I have a demotion fetish."
When your boss gives you a "promotion", which entails more work-- but in all reality you make far less pay for what you're doing and takes up far more time.

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.
