Things Fall Apart 

An awful book:

1. that is supposed to oppose racism but fails.

2. is about yams. And angry black men. But mostly yams.

3. that makes African tribal men sound like mormons.
"Things fall apart, indeed. My soul fell apart when I was forced to read this book."

"Yeah, man, I feel you. Did you know their inability to grow yams is symbolic of the lack of plot lines to fuel the story?"

Things Fall Apart 

Things Fall Apart is one of the worst books you will ever read. I strongly recommend you not to read this book. Not only is it super boring but there is no plot and you are just reading about how the main character Okonkwo is obsessed with men and is likely gay. The whole book is literally about how Okonkwo is gay and how he likes yams.
Dave: Did you read the book Things Fall Apart?
David: yeah, it is terrible

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!
