you must construct additional pylons 

This is possibly the most annoying phrase in the real-time-strategy game Starcraft.

The basic objective of Starcraft is to make a big army to destroy your opponent, however you have this army-size limit known as 'supply' that can only be increased by building a specific building, and for the alien faction 'protoss', that building is the pylon. So every 2-4 soldiers you build, you most build another pylon to sustain them. If you forget, a voice says "YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS", and at that point, you realise that you can't build any more guys until you send a worker to build the pylon, and then wait for the pylon to finish. Then, 4 soldiers later, you will have to build ANOTHER one.

What makes this phrase especially annoying is how often the guy says it if you forget to build them, because soldiers of the protoss race take up so much supply, and their pylons provide such little supply.
*tries to build a soldier*

A humorous substitute for "pilot," often used within the aviation community. Many believe the obviously incorrect spelling is meant to be the humor itself, but the word actually comes from an anonymous user operating under the username "PyloteP6" who would often write comments online on proposed FAA Advisory Circulars around 2012. These comments would detail supposed outrageous practices the user had witnessed during his career as an airline pilot, and would frequently try to "expose" the aviation industry by claiming that pilots were frequently intoxicated in the cockpit, that sexual favors were required to get top airline positions, and that being anally raped was widely considered a rite of passage for flight attendants.

The term is now most commonly used on the Reddit forum r/shittyaskflying, where users substitute "pilot" for "pylote" as a way of mocking fellow pilots or signalling their participation in the niche aviation humor.
"For some reason, the girl at the bar was not impressed when I told her I was a pylote."

"For pylotes, the alcohol rule is '8 hours, bottle to throttle.' That means that after 8 hours of heavy drinking, the bottle turns into a throttle."

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!
