dentist appointment 

The excuse for escaping an awkward social moment, boring party, bad day at work, or any other situation you'd rather not be a part of. The intent is to express disdain for the situation - saying you have a dentist appointment when you clearly don't (because it's nighttime, or the weekend, or whatever) amplifies the effect and sarcasm. Synonymous with "this sucks, and I'm leaving".

Used in speech, the dentist appointment can either be how you explain your departure from your current environment, or what you say to someone while giving a recap of the situation and why you left.
Jill: "Hey Matt! Leaving already?"
Matt: "Yeah. Dentist appointment."
Jill: "...but it's 8 p.m. on a Sunday."

"I was trying to watch the movie, but then Sue and Mike started making out, so I had a dentist appointment."

Dentist Appointment

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!
