"Mork & Mindy" is a t.v series that had aired from 1978 to 1982. The word "Shazbot" (/ˈʃɑ zbɒt/) is an Orkan profanity that the character Mork often used. The Orkan profanity or curse word that was used can be compared to someone on Earth saying "shit". That word was popularized by the character Mork and he is one of the main characters in the series, and an alien from the planet Ork.

***This is the CORRECT spelling of the word. Proper credit must be given to the true comic genius of Robin McLaurin Williams (July 21, 1951 – August 11, 2014) R.I.P.
"Owie! Shazbot, shazbot, SHAZBOT! I stubbed my little toe when I tripped over the footstool Mindy, and it hurt!!! You didn't even ask me if I was KO!!!"

The Shabbat Effect

Something that happens to Jews that are shomer Shabbat. Essentially, what happens is that because they can’t turn on/off lights on Shabbat, they become very hesitant of doing so during the week, and begin to always hesitate before flipping a light switch
Joseph: **reaches for light switch, then hesitates, then flips it**

Mendel: Why’d you just hesitate to turn on the lights?

Joseph: It’s the Shabbat effect.

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!
