Dude someone just shat in there. Check out this toilet bowl. Look at all those Paper Minnows floating around down there. Whoa! Looks like one of the fish tanks in the pet department at Wal-Mart.

Sharks and minnows 

One child is the shark and stands in the middle of the yard. The other kids are the minnows and line up at one end of the yard. The object is for the minnows to get from one end of the yard to the other without being caught, aka tagged, by the shark. If tagged, then the minnow also becomes a shark.
Bob: Let’s play sharks and minnows

The children in his basement: Yeah

Bob: I’ll be the shark

Kids in the basement: ok

George Minkowski 

The phenomenon that occurs when one surrounds his neural tissue with enough alcohol that he believes he can travel in time between points in his life and simultaneously ruin events in the present and/or past & future. Almost always results in confusing and severe consequences for the traveler.
Yeah man, Fred came home and found his bosses swordfighting in his wife's mouth. He's getting George Minkowski'd tonight.

(NOTE FOR EDITORS: This is not a real person's name. This is a character on the popular show "Lost" who went nuts because he was traveling in time which left him between a catatonic and confused state that eventually lead to his death.)

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!
