no eyes on glass 

No eyes on glass is a network monitoring term widely used in the operations world. It's origin is believed to have come out of one of the AT&T centers. Essentially, it means techs do not have to monitor crap. They can just be lazy and wait for a ticketing system to do all the work for them. But it really doesn't make any sense, because even though you aren't looking at the monitoring glass, you have to look at the ticketing glass.

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.
