Forgoogle 

A thought runs through your head while you are busy doing something. You make a mental note to look it up when you are done. By the time you are ready to google it you realize you've forgotten what the heck it was you wanted to find out.

Foreground obstruction crew 

People and vehicles at airshows and airports charged with the vitally important task of obstructing photographers trying to get pictures of the aircraft. They typically wear orange shirts and/or reflective vests to enhance their visibility. They are best known for making their appearance *just* when the most interesting aircraft of the entire event is about to pass by, remaining present until they have spoiled the photo opportunity, and then returning to their lair.
Sh*t! My photo of that F-100 was spoiled by the foreground obstruction crew!

Foregone conclusion 

This phrase is commonly used in Sporting circles where there is no doubt about the final outcome of an event before it has even taken place.

There are some very rare occasions where the professed ‘conclusion’ doesn’t work out according to plan, one occasion was in Japan (Feb 1990) when Mike Tyson predicted his knock-out of Buster Douglas.

Even more famously, the memorable phrase was announced in Carnoustie during the Bus Pushers 2015 tour when Casey (3rd Runner-up on the Wicklow Hurling team of the Millennium) was heard to declare that the next day’s team event was going to be won by the Greenkeepers and the result was a foregone conclusion.

Despite the reasonable start with a 6 pointer on the first hole, Casey’s previous days confidence soon evaporated with a couple of 3 pointers and an even more impressive 2 pointer on the 5th hole. By the time they got to the turn his embarrassed teammates were hoping that the opposition would decide not to play the back-nine so that the ill-advised declaration may still have a chance of coming true.

Alas it was not to be, the greenkeepers final score was a full 11 points behind the winners total of 86 points. No-one can be bothered to remember who actually won that day but the resounding chorus of Foregone conclusion was heard being chanted from the winners room until 9pm when Tony went to bed.

The tale of the golfing foregone conclusion is still being discussed in Scottish golf clubs to the present day.
Frank: How are you feeling about tomorrow’s team event Richie?

Richie: Not too sure Frank, had a few electrical faults on Trump Aberdeen today and only scored 17 pts, luckily for me Willie was on fire and carried us to victory, what about you Smithy?

Smithy: Ah Richie lad, calm down us Raharney lads are born winners, didn’t we win the Westmeath U-21, Junor & Senior hurling titles in 1984, the rest of those lads won’t know what hit them, what do you think Casey?

Casey; It’s a foregone conclusion lads!

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!
