Knifey-Spooney 

A stupid Australian game where everyone pulls out their knives to compare size (like Americans and dicks) and one person pulls out a spoon. The first person to call out the person with the spoon wins.
"Lets play knifey-spooney." Everyone pulls out their knives, except Steve, he pulls out a spoon.

"Those aren't knives, THIS is a knife," Steve says.
"No, that's a spoon," Alex points out.
"Well I guess you win," Steve pouts.

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!
