garage shop 

To find the cheapest way to do something. Ignoring quality at all cost. Trying to make something from scrap either in your own pile or anywhere you can find it just as long as it didn't cost anything or basically as little as possible. Someone much more concerned about cost rather than quality, especially at work when it isn't even his money. When a person makes something cheap and then brags like it's the same quality as something made with all the best. Absolutely under no circumstances ever make something the best even if it's half the normal cost it's still too expensive.

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!
