Dishonesty 

Alright so dishonesty. You can be a "Dishonest" person. Right. Like, in general. Right? So that could be considered a personality trait. Right? So the "Dishonesty" dimension would be split into the sub dimensions of Intellectual dishonesty (deceptive wordplay or sophistry) and Overt dishonesty (compulsive lying or lying for sport). And I imagine it would be linked to low conscientiousness... Yeah... That sounds about right... but I'm pretty low in that so it's strange that I'm hyper honest... I don't know how I would reconcile that... Fuck it. I'm the exception to all rules. Nevermind me. It's probably conscientiousness.

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.
