Homotism is the expression of man’s exclusive focus on himself because of an erroneous belief that homo sapiens (mankind), the sole surviving species of the genus homo, is superior to all other species on earth and that this superiority gives mankind dominance and rights over all other life forms.

Homotism erroneously proposes that human characteristics, such as consciousness, altruism, intelligence, culture, creativity, morality, warfare, language, problem solving, monogamy, family, tool use, invention, innovation, flexibility, spirit, grieving and soul are behaviors reserved exclusively for mankind.

newly coined word by Victor Ciuccio Ph.D.

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!
