Huckster:

(noun)

1. An uber-crafty investment contraption that, ironically, slips through the regulatory grips of SEC's Gensler while still functioning as an irresistible magnet for an array of random lawsuits and government meddling.

2. The financial equivalent of a cat with nine lives, able to dodge, weave, and sometimes even thrive amidst the whims and chaos of Gensler's 'hands-off' guidance.
Usage: "Invested in a huckster, eh? Better buckle up, 'cause it's gonna be a wild ride between dodging lawsuits and figuring out what the heck Gensler's next move is!"

Uneducated Huckster 

Rational Wiki coined this one to Eric Hovind.

1.) If you preach that human and dinosaur coexisted then you're a fucking idiot.

2.) Someone who attended Jackson Hole Bible College

3.) A student from the Independent Baptist college system as they were revealed to be snake oil salesman.

4.) a home-schooller who cites "Dr." Kent Hovind as an educator and pulls a scripture barrage from the King James Version when they were refuted by a theistic evolutionist without spouting every other word and using their own blog articles as well as writings from the observations they made when science points out a much older earth. When Pat Robertson made the remark, "let's not make a joke of ourselves as there's no way the earth is 6000 years old."
Someone who saw my exchange on Creation "Science" Evangelism and pulling out the 2007 era photograph, "A Philosophy minor from College of DuPage who was a college dropout outsmarted the Uneducated Huckster on the huckster's own page. What's funny is he didn't cuss but invoked a response of getting invited to a Facebook Block Party -- then he decided to take it to the parent site where he unleashed a barrage of barbs some explicit as Utah would been covering their eyes over some of them. The comments on the pictures -- oh shit I don't even want that dark mental image in my mind as he did a Black Comedy laced retort using dark allegory showing what the reality of Noah's Floating Zoo really looks like. Hovind pulls the 2 + 2 = 4 response he invoked Orwell with 2 + 2 = 5"

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!
