1. plural of shroogi

2. Shorog is a class-related term used to refer to the impoverished Shia population residing in southeast Iraq. Initially coined for a group of migrants from eastern Iraq to Baghdad, according to the social historian Hanna Batatu, they were regarded as the lowest strata in Iraqi society, frequently grappling with agrarian serfdom and marginalization by their tribal leaders.

3. In contemporary times, this term is used derogatorily by racists and the affluent to harshly belittle these people, often pointing to those lacking the proper education.
Person A: The sociology professor in my lecture was talking about people from southern Iraq and described them as 'shroog'.

Person B: I can't believe he used that derogatory term 'Shorog' to describe them. It's so racist and disrespectful.

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!
