Jheri Curl

A popular hairstyle in the African-American community especially in the 1980's. This haircut was, as the previous entry says, a perm that loosens up the naturally tightened curls and makes the hair nice and bouncy as a result. The major downside to this hairdo was the extreme amount of maintenance it required to keep it looking pretty. Tons of hair care products made for a lot of greasy situations (no pun intended). Many jokes were actually aimed at this downside, see Coming To America (1988 film starring Eddie Murphy).
When Ricky got up off the leather sofa, his Jheri Curl left a greasy, oily stain where his head used to be. Guess how long that mess took to clean up.

Jheri curl-mandering 

A redistricting strategy made famous during the period in the late 1980's, when the Democratic Party moved geographic boundaries of an electoral district in California to include predominantly black-populated areas(South Central Los Angeles, Inglewood, Compton) in an effort to concentrate African American voters sporting the popular greasy hairstyle of the day, thus using 'packing' tactics to insure a constituency that would elect congressional representatives who also sported the couch-ruining do. The term for this strategy remained unnamed for nearly 30 years until comedian Adam Carolla coined it on his podcast, “The Adam Carolla Show”(Episode aired November 3, 2015.).
Congresswoman Maxine Waters may believe the science is still out on the morning after pill but she's definitely a student of the science of Jheri curl-mandering. Tracking sales of Soul Glo in order to target the perfect constituency was a flash of genius on the Democratic Party's part.

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!
