An ironic statement that means avoid ambiguity and adopt clarity. It's ironic because it is hypocritical.
Instead of saying eschew obfuscation, espouse elucidation, Mary just told us to avoid confusion and be clear.

eschersexual 

A word to describe any sex act or position which seems to defy understanding and physical limitations; something that seems to require you to bend in ways that simply don't exist.
"It was so eschersexual; she pulled her legs up behind her head... then flipped, so that her arms were in there too somehow, and I think my leg was in her mouth or something. I'd draw you a diagram, but I don't know how to even picture it."

Eschergirl 

A term popularized by the tumblr blog of the same name, an Eschergirl refers to any figure (typically female and typically within comics) drawn in a "sexy" pose that defies sense both in anatomy as well as narrative. Harkening back to the dizzying designs of Escher, these girls are also impossible.
Basically every picture of Psylocke ever.
Let's see...can see both boobs and full butt, one leg seems to be coming out of her crotch and the other one doesn't seem to be attached, her boobs are coming out of her collar and look like they're about to fly away, AND she's wearing a bikini in the middle of a blizzard. Yup, Eschergirl.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

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!
