Dismissive 

When someone doesn't agree with your opinion anymore and just shuts you down and, basically, tells you to go fuck yourself for being an individual. It usually makes you spend the weekend feeling bad about yourself.
Casey didn't want to hear anymore about my thoughts on his favorite football team so he said "On a serious note, I'm out having fun and having a good time, you're really not being cool and pissing me off just leave me alone while they play." and, upon trying to express your opinion of a tv show says "oh, shut UP, I can't deal with this" and then you feel bad inside for having tried to be a part of his life. It was all extraordinarily dismissive.

motion for dismissile 

A court document in which the plaintiff requests that the judge order the passage of a strategic arms limitation treaty which dictates that the defendant must destroy or get rid of one or more warhead-tipped rockets in his possession.
Many courts would be reluctant to rule on a motion for dismissile because (A) they know that said ruling wouldn't likely amount to a hill of beans to the other party, anyway, since said ordnance-possessors obviously are non-peaceable folk who do not think reasonably/rationally nor care about laws or agreements, seeing as how they have not voluntarily dismantled their ICBM stockpile already, and (B) they would be concerned that said hostile party would likely launch one or more of said high-speed rockets at the courthouse in hot-headed retaliation for any ruling against them.

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!
