An unmarried woman whose lifestyle is provided for her in exchange for sex, companionship, or access. Hban is an acronym (pronounced h-ban) that initializes "Hookers By Another Name". These women are found in the world's captials; first and foremost, New York City. The perks they enjoy include private jets, summers in St. Tropez, winters in St. Barths, and sizable monthly stipends. In exchange, they provide the illusion of intimacy with a beautiful woman. Hbans are only distinct from "trophy wives" in that the men they pursue are--unknown to them--of sufficient age, wealth and temperament to steer clear of permanent commitment.
Did you hear that Laura is fucking Darian Summers? Ewww, I know she's only doing it because she wants to use his house in the Hamptons! OMG, such an hban.

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!
