Give Me Space 

If someone says "I need space" it means that they need to take some time away from the relationship in order to decide how to articulate their needs, wants, and expectations. Someone's need for space doesn't mean you did anything wrong. A need for space may not exclusively be relationship based, it can also be because of stress in other areas of a person's life. Sometimes, separation is required in order for growth.
Girlfriend: *being smothering*

Boyfriend: "Jessica, I need you to give me space."
Girlfriend: "...I understand."

Space Me 

1. When you meet new people out or perhaps you're reconnecting with a long lost somebody, suggest they look you up on MySpace. Maybe you're short on time and can't play catch-up right then. This is the super simple way of saying "keep in touch", "later", "text me" or "call me", etc. (Because puhleeese, everybody and their uncle has a MySpace profile.)

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!
