The Specials were one of the bands that defined two-tone ska music. They reached their peak in the late 70's/early 80's. Later in the 80's when they began to go downhill, three of the members left to launch their own band. The remaining members, including Jerry Dammer, went on to try and continue their career, but they weren't very successful. Some of their songs include Little Bitch and Too Much Too Young.

Look them up and listen to their songs because they are interesting.

Elton John Specials

This term refers to something that looks extremely queer. It can also be applied to something that exudes a sense of douchebaggery.

Fat kid: "Hey old man, don't you think my Ed Hardy pants are tight!!!"

Old man: "What are you talking about?"

Fat kid: "My jeans! Aren't they nice! I bought you a pair, so you can be a fresh jivin' douche-faggot like me."

Old man: "Oh... you mean those Elton John Specials. Not for me, thanks!"

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!
