encrapsulation 

A very poorly designed and often unnecessary attempt at utilizing one of the central tenets of object-oriented software, often detrimental to the success.
The latest version of our crapplication makes extensive use of encrapsulation in the design to insure mind-numbingly slow performance.

encrapsulation 

Originally, Object Oriented Programming talks about encapsulation which means hiding all your detailed logic behind a class such that the user can only care about the application level of the function rather than trying to understand all the inner workings.

However, usually, many smaller libraries or examples/framework in assignment made by professors did a poor job to describe how the function really works, nor they have provided any meaningful example about the input of the functions, ending up doing the opposite of what encapsulation originally has claimed which the developer have to look into the implementation or even the whole program just to understand what the function really do.
Example 1: Damn, I am sick of this assignment about building AI agent for a Pacman Game where there is no clear documentation about how every classes works. How can I suppose to know all the properties and expected return data without looking into their encrapsulated agent classes?

Example 2: ("Coming Soon" in the documentation) Oh no... there is no documentation about this highly confusing python function over this confusing input parameter "something". Welp, it is time to find the source code of this encrapsulation to see what type it I should use.

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!
