Fishbowl Party 

This is the "new" fad amongst married couples who like to hook up with other people. It was very popular in the 70s and has come back around in the last few years. Every couple who comes to the Fishbowl Party puts their keys in a bowl. Whomever picks your keys out of the fishbowl is who you go home with. Girls may come alone, but it is "risky". It's actually a very good way to lead your relationship toward a break-up and/or divorce.
If you are married and want to hook up with someone other than your spouse head to a fishbowl party and bring your spouse or hold one at your house!

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!
