I saw this word in a chat room in 2003. There it meant a stealthing chatter secretly carrying out the agenda of another- and generally easily recognized- chatter. I believe in the larger sense it has come to mean a person or figurehead who speaks under the direction of another...as though a child's sock toy with someone's armed jammed up their ass.

Why bother listening to Jack? He's like totally Natalie's butt-puppet.

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!
