Pencil and Sharpener theory 

The lock and key theory can finally be disproved. The lock and key theory states that "A key that opens many locks is a master key, yet a lock that can be opened by many keys is a useless lock" The counter theory, the pencil and sharpener theory states that "a pencil that is sharpened by a lot of sharpeners becomes a useless stub/pencil while a sharpener that sharpens a lot of pencils is a good pencil sharpener" This theory is rarely favoured by males... for some reason.

Are you curious to know how this proof was derived? if YES, Click on Alt + F4 (on windows) and ⌘ + Shift + W (on a mac)
The pencil and sharpener theory is mostly used to shut a boy up when he brings up the lock and key theory. Works everytime

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!
