refresh monkey 

Someone who visits a regularly updated website and uses their browser's refresh capability frequently in an effort to view the updated content as soon as possible after it is posted. This especially applies to sites where the updated content includes a feature such as a message board where fans of the site try to get bragging rights by making the first post (aka fipo or fpotd).
You generally have to wade through several "first post" attempts from refresh monkeys before you get to the first real discussion.

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!
