rissole by Tom Long December 21, 2007
French in origin, a rissole is a small fried patty made with mincemeat and breadcrumbs. Often passed off as a delicacy by outrageously camp Kiwi chefs, a rissole is actually traditionally a peasant’s food, and is still considered this in France.

Typically the rissole is made up of leftovers and scraps left in the cupboards. Due to this rissole often leaves people with vicious gastrointestinal repercussions. This may include incidents of sharting.
I'm afraid that all we have left in the larder is that 3 day old rissole. We can't possibly make them eat that.

Australian slang for your arse hole, bum, backside. Due to the visual similarity of a meat rissole and the rectum.

The Rissole Effect 

Makes those around her slightly dazed and confused by such blatant stupidity. Master of subtly drawing people into her spiraling darkness and web of lies. We highly recommend labeling 'The Rissole effect' with a medical warning.
Mate, you need some beers! It looks like you've been the victim of the Rissole effect. That girl should come with a health warning.

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!
