slowly slowly

A phrase used by non-native english speakers, its meaning is close to the single slowly. The repetition could seem unnecessary but its different to single-"slowly" as slowly slowly has a positive connotation, it means chill, let things take their time, don't rush ect.

Often said by native greek speakers when speaking english, translated from the orignal greek "σιγα σιγα" (slowly slowly), who are unaware that this phrase is not used by native english speakers, and they could have just said "slowly" one time instead.

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!
