Lightie is British slang for mixed-race girl.

It's used as a term of endearment but is anti-poc by nature as it seeks to make mixed-race women (particularly those who have partial black lineage) seem 'better' than black women because of their appearance.

For example, lighties would be the following:

1) Jorja Smith
2) Mahalia
3) Latesha Grace
4) Erica Fontaine
5) Maya Jama
6) Any woman/girl on instagram with silky curly hair, biracial or multi-racial, sometimes has different colored eyes like green or blue, & fair skin complexion

Most grime emcees used to say that lighties were what we should desire and the ultimate woman was a lightie.

Lighties are stereotyped in good ways but sometimes are used as props for colorism.

They're praised for having non-black features while being a bit black-ish.

Most black athlete and entertainers have kids with or date lighties or have said they would like to: anyone from Stormzy has said they love lighties to Anthony Joshua who said he loved lighties. Most Black British men prefer lighties.
"Nah man, I only date lighties. I don't date black girls. Lighties have the best hair and best looks. She's buff bro.. bare lighties.."

(South African slang. Used primarily in boys' school contexts.)

A high school underclassman; young boy or young teenager. Slightly pejorative, but not meanspirited.
Now that that ouk is a prefect, he can tune all the lighties.

Translation: Now that that guy is a school prefect (upperclassman) he can direct, scold and order about the younger boys (lower classman).

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!
