PS2 Expansion Bay Hiding Spot 

On a PS2 (the fat model) there is an empty slot in the back meant to put in a hard drive and network adapter, this empty spot can be accessed by taking off the network adapter or cover on the back. This is a great place to hide stuff like your weed, cigarettes/cigars, cans of snuff, small flasks, money and electronic devices etc. It's a great hiding spot because nobody will think to look for anything strange in there(just make sure to close up the back after) and no one will suspect a thing!
Person 1:"I need to hide this herb somewhere for a bit!"
Person 2:"Put it in my PS2"
Person 1:"How the fuck would i do that?"
Person 2: -opens the back- "See?'
Person 1:"ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!"
Person 2:"Yeah the good ol' PS2 expansion bay hiding spot trick!"

i can explain 

a statement used when a situation becomes either undeniably irreversible or utterly impossible to explain due to temporary unfavorable circumstances. Often preceded by the "it's not what it looks like" statement. In other words: you're busted and you can't come up with a good excuse without getting beat up or yelled at.
A girl comes to a guy's house for a visit. They enjoy a good conversation. They turn on the tv. The air conditioner doesn't work so they take off a few items of clothing. They have a friendly fight over the remote and start wrestling on the ground. The guy's overzealous girlfriend walks in to see them holding eachother, nearly half naked on the carpet. The guy is shocked and says "Wait, it's not what it looks like...I can explain."

I'll Explain Later 

Everytime a plothole is found in the script of the long-running series Dr. Who, the Doctors line reads 'I'll explain later'. Not by a lack of inmagination, but of time conflicts/paradoxes in the Dr. Who universe.

This line is hugely made fun of in the 'Comic relief' parody starring Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Grant.
Doctor: Let's go...
Rose: How come the Daleks are still alive?
Doctor: hazitates I'll explain later...

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!
