When a film or television character is always remembered for an entirely irrelevant trait.
This trope is named for Sally Acorn from Sonic the Hedgehog who, despite being one of the most plot-developed characters in the comic/show, is only remembered for being naked.
Single Sally is a man trying to throw a party without any friends. He may frequent bars, nightclubs and gentlemen's clubs for companions to party with.
"Sorry buddy. We only book topless waitresses for parties, no single Sallies. Call us next time you have some friends over."
"That is why this place can no longer be rented for parties unless there are two men willing to be responsible. One man had a party, wrecked the place and he threw up his hands, saying he cannot control his rowdy guests. No matter how high we raised the fee, none of these single Sallys ever cared about losing their security deposit. Only when we made two men give their names for the rental did we start to see manners. One of the two men needed the security deposit more and he would keep his friends in line to get it back. It became a matter of pride, and one friend would not let his so-called friend take advantage of their friendship by losing the deposit. With two names on the line, it diffuses the responsibility and makes it easier for everyone to relax."

A indie horror point-and-click by Portable Moose. The story follows a 15 year old boy bamed Sal, aka Sally Face. He moves into Addison Apartments, where he finds strange happenings around the building, including ghosts, demons, murder, and the like.
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!
