Flâneur 

A person that is able to saunter around and wander detached from society with no other purpose than to be an acute observer of his surroundings. He/she is deliberately aimless, just soaking in his surroundings through different perspectives. Perspectives that are untouched by others who see these surroundings as normal and don't even dwell on it.

Flâneur (pronounced flɑnœʁ), from the French noun flâneur, means stroller, lounger, saunterer, or loafer.
The flâneur was essential to any picture of the streets of Paris, a literary type from the 19th-century in France. Now flâneur has become an important symbol for scholars, artists and writers.
He is a real flâneur when he takes the bus; just staring out of the window and observing the normal but weird things humans do.

ENTRE-FLANEUR

An individual who saunters through life, getting involved in randomness to see what happens:

Flaneur (originally a french word):
An individual who saunters around observing society.

The two words come together to make "entre-flaneur"
I thought they were only watching, but then they got involved, look at that "entre-flaneur" go... I bet that opens doors for them, I bet they make bank!

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!
