the devil is beating his wife
Saying used (especially in the southern US) when the sun is shining yet it's raining. I've been told that in Scandinavian countries they say "There's a marriage in Hades" for this, and in South America they say "The devil and his wife are dancing." (Since all version relate to the devil and his spouse, there's probably some older story that all these sayings derive from.)
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain, coming down on a sunny day? Yes, the devil is beating his wife. (Heh, CCR reference too.)

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!
