Going Full Common
To give a public expository speech using vague and uplifting rhetoric; spoken in a sing song rhythmic cadence; as though participating in an open mic poetry slam.
This description is based on the key poetic delivery style elements of rapper and slam poet Lonnie “Common” Rashid Lynn.
This expression was made popular by the Season 2 trailer of the series Woke. The expression will get old when people find their own approach to public speaking; and, stop biting other people’s style. Which — actually — means that this expression will be around for a while!

Damn! Did you hear him give that best man speech; he was going full Common celebrating the bride and groom. I can’t remember a word he said but it made me feel a lot better about jumping the broom.

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.
