Fashionably Drunk 

To show up to a place, party event, or meeting with friends a few minutes late, and somewhat intoxicated. The perfect phrase to let people know that you are fashionable enough to show up a few minutes late, and will be happily drunk when you arrive.
Matt: Hey we are going to the Up, when are you coming down?

Will: Kurt and I are at Kane's house right now, and will be showing up fashionably drunk.

fashionably late 

Depending on the type/style of the event fashionably late can also range from 5 minutes (to a dinner date or a small gathering) to 45 minutes-1 hour (21st parties please note that there are also varying categories of 21st parties and discretionary judgement must be exercised). This time frame, or 'cushion', allows enough other people to have already arrived so that it is not only the birthday person and their parents in attendance and also conveys the possibility that you have come from a previous engagement (please refer to above definition).
1 hour late to a dinner party is socially unnacceptable and can protray an undesired tone of self importance however an hour late to a keg party is assumed and will be recognised as being fashionably late (again discretion must be employed to ensure that the beer will not be finished prior to your arrival).

Guest 1: I'm here; I guess I'm fashionably late.

Guest 2: Actually, you're not late. The party is starting right now.

Guest 1: Oh, well, in that case...I must be...fashionably on time!

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!
