familial dementia 

The anxiety, worry, despair and insanity a person may feel or deal with regarding any small or large family interaction or assembly; this is usually based on the perceived right and responsibility of kin to be annoying, to be annoyed and disgusted with you, to be rude, unsupportive, condescending, derogatory; to question and disapprove of everything you think or do “on principle”; to basically butt heads and accept this mutual condemnation because “love means never having to say you’re sorry” (the only situation in which this idiotic & insane epitaph could possibly apply).

familial statism 

A form of tyranny that involves accepting power over one’s life from any family member. A familial statist can either be the older relative who controls their children at an unreasonable level, clips their wings, and stunts their growth for selfish purposes... or the younger relative who refuses to grow up and get their life in order on their own merits. You could sponge off any one of your relatives, or vice versa — be an enabler, and be considered a familial statist.
Andrew is a bootlicking familial statist. He really needs to stop living off his mommy, get out of the basement, and into the world. Get a job Andrew, familial statism is a passive disease and you need to buck up a bit.

Familial obligations 

Are conditional and must (necessarily) be reciprocal.
Hym "Familial obligations are must be both conditional and reciprocal. If you're going to allow me to be unfairly maligned (say if your sister or mother turned on you after all the sex trafficking) and you're not going to make a vested effort in my advancement in the world; can I even really call you 'family?' So no. You're outside of the 'family box.' You can step back in whenever you want."

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!
