A variation of badminton, in which players must try and pull of quashes to score against opponents. The challenge is to avoid "Pulling a Matt". Invented in 2007 to try and liven up the traditional rules of badminton. Other differences are that the birdie is only out if landing in the 'out' area of Quinn's (or his team's) side, the entire opposite side of the court is completely open. The scoring system of Quinnminton varies per game.
"Hey Pat, want to go play some Quinnminton!"
"Ok, just hope I don't pull a Matt!"
"Quash! Another point for us!"
"But it went out"
"Ya on YOUR side, so it doesn't matter....haven't you ever played Quinnminton?"
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!
