Sullenberger Shot

An alcoholic beverage named after Captain Sullenberger, the pilot who successfully landed a commercial airliner in the Hudson river without harming any passengers.

The drink consists of a shot of Grey Goose, dropped into a glass of water. Grey Goose represents the flock of geese that caused the engines to fail, and the water obviously represents the river in which the plane was landed.

This drink is far from ideal, likewise, so is landing a plane in the river, but it'll work in the most dire situations.
Sometimes you just have to improvise. How about a Sullenberger shot? Drop a shot of the Goose into a glass of water, and salute Captain Sully

adj: sullen is the description of an unenergetic, silently ill-minded, quiet person.

usually this feeling occurs when a person is mad but cannot express his/her feelings properly and fails to communicate with his/her audience, creating an awkward and general feeling of uneasiness
Context: Dillian is mad because Josephina and Mildred pissed him off.

Jospehina: "Dillian what's wrong?"
Dillian: "....... (angry face showing his silently ill-minded mind)"
Mildred: "uhhh are you ok?"
Dillian: ".......(making situation gradually more awkward)"
Geutrude (girl's name): "what's wrong with Dillian?"
Josephina: "uhh i don't know he won't say...."
Dillian: (looks off into the distance, looking very angry, but still failing to describe how he feels)

(As Dillian looks into the distance, Josephina and Mildred leave, awkwardly leaving Geurtrude in silence with Dillian)

In conclusion, Dillian's sullen attitude made the entire situation BAD

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!
