pottless 

A creature in 17th Century English mythology. It's distinctive foul smell and revolting appearance makes it one of the most recognizable and iconic mythical figures in old English mythology.

Its origin is unknown, but it is believed that the myth began in a small village of Pottleton, now known as Waltham Cross, when a strange noise came from a well just outside the village. Villagers went to investigate, but none returned from their scoutings. It is said that every night at 3:35 AM, a small girl with a turnip-shaped head and a tomato-style hair do can be seen wandering the ground where the well once stood.
"Oh my God, John! Is that the Pottless?!"

"I don't know, Mr Lywellyn, but it is most certainly pottless-like, reminiscent of the old tale."

"Oh I see!"

"Quite!"

"Ahhhh"

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!
