Getaway Car 

A metaphor for a situation in which someone finally gets away from an unwanted partner. Someone who has found a rebound after a breakup, may have used that rebound as a Getaway car.

A Getaway Car is usually a vehicle that criminals use to get away after they commit a crime. To a person who wants to leave an unhappy relationship, any excuse and circumstance can be used as a getaway car, such as pregnancy from an ex, emotional unavailability, or supposed death of a family member.

American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift coined this version of the term on her 2017 song Getaway Car.
“You really used your pregnancy from an ex as a Getaway Car to leave the person you’re currently seeing?”

“You cheated on your partner? That’s the perfect Getaway Car!!”

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!
