Scanning 

The act of using some type of plastic card (Visa, credit, school, debit, gift, etc) to snort cocaine.

Me and My friend thought of the word when we found out that my friend used his School ID card to do it, just scooping it in a line on the card, and "scanning" it across your nose.
"Man bitch, I was scanning last night, and that shit was rawww."

"That guy scanned last night. Afterwards he became a crazy nikkuh."

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!
