noviophobia 

Noviophobia is an irrational fear, aversion to, or jealously of others' relationships at large, especially of potential romantic partners already being in relationships. Noviophobia is derived from the Spanish word "Novio" (meaning boyfriend) and Greek word "Phobos" (meaning fear); This strange word was featured in an issue of Nintendo Power in a fan letter regarding the 2004 Nintendo DS game "Sprung", and it was also mentioned in the 2004 Sonichu newsletter "Sonichu's News Dash!".
To make a long story short, I developed a fear that all the pretty girls are already paired up with a boyfriend. I’ve dubbed this social phobia, Noviophobia, after the Spanish word for boyfriend.

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!
