Nintendo tax 

Nintendo tax is when a multi-platform video game is priced abnormally high on all platforms as a result of also being released on a Nintendo platform.

Nintendo Switch game prices are notoriously high (called the switch tax) and Nintendo apparently requires some form of parity on prices as part of their contract. As a result, game prices seem to become inflated even on other platforms that are not Nintendo platforms.
Bob: "This game is a straight port of a ten year old game! why is it so expensive??? "
Joe: "look, it's also on the switch... "
Bob: "Ah, I see, it's the Nintendo tax."

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!
