pulling a pinny 

When someone is two lazy to come up with a creative proposal for their future wife, they pull what's known in the eastern U.S as "Pulling a Pinny" - That is, walking into the room wherever the girl is (preferably her bedroom while she's half asleep. This way she won't be expecting it, SURPRISE!) getting down on one knee and wiping it out.

You're lame ass proposal that is. Just ask her to marry you, don't bother being creative at all.

You know she's going to say yes, you've got this "in the bag." So on the most special day of her life, just be a lazy asshole and Pull a Pinny.
You've been dating a girl for 6 months. You know she's madly in love with you. Whenever you propose you know she'll say yes. Now the honorable thing to do would be to create this wonderful proposal and surprise her. Make her feel special, it's the most wonderful day of her life. What do you do though? You start Pulling a Pinny. You walk into her room while she's half asleep (clothing situation: unknown), you get down on one knee, and you kill her hopes and dreams of marrying a half decent human being. SMH

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!
