email forwards 

Email forwards tend to be generated by nincompoops. They seem to believe that email domains/businesses/ghosts can track your emails and see how many people you send them to.

Often people believe ill babies will get money from AOL. Or perhaps that sending it to 30 people will grant a wish of your choice, improve your luck and or sex life.

The worst part of this phenomenon is that many people believe it. Please don't join them.

I don't kick sideways; I kick forward. 

I don't kick sideways; I kick forward is a meaningless answer Nikki Haley used continuously when asked to differentiate herself from her former boss Donald Trump during her presidential announcement press junkets.

This statement has no meaning and is a complete evasion of questions that were directly asked. The next time my wife asks me which one of her friends in the most attractive I’m going to say:

“I don’t kick sideways; I kick forward”.

It almost sounds like you are glibly answering the question.

Almost.
This is how you use “ I don't kick sideways; I kick forward.” as a conversational tactic:

Wife: Which one of my friends do you find the most attractive.

Husband: I don’t kick sideways; I kick forward.

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!
