Drugstore Outdoorsman 

A Person found in a back country area who has no idea how to survive in the wilderness without massive amounts of unnecessary equipment and expensive provisions. He/she typically has all brand new equipment but not much understanding of how to use it to stay comfortable in the wilderness. These persons sometimes never leave the comfort of their 4 Wheel Drive SUV no matter how deep into the sticks they travel. Insects find them the most appealing to swarm on and bite. The smoke from the campfire always blows toward them.
I was near the ridge line in The Pisgah National Forest sleeping in my tent after a day of backpacking the A.T. when I was nearly run over by countless drugstore outdoorsmen in their jeeps out for a night romp on the jeep roads nearby. Their engine noise and music players kept me awake while they took turns pulling each other's vehicles from the mud for hours before a Drugstore Outdoorsman lit a huge gasoline fueled fire to cook hot dogs and marshmallows at midnight.

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!
