galley goblin

A flight attendant that is territorial over their galley to the point of refusing other flight attendants access even though food and beverage stock is meant to be shared among all cabin crew for service.

Coined by a flight attendant named Jenniferlove I. on a FB memes page.
The aft flight attendant on my trip is such a galley goblin, I couldn’t get my first class snack basket or restock. She should be on nothing but CRJ 200s if she hates working with others so much.

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!
