Sobernormativity 

Sobernormativity is the anti-drug belief that sobriety is the norm and therefore the only acceptable way of life. Proponents of sobernormative lifestyles will often drink at parties, only to judge someone else for smoking up or doing harder drugs.

Sobernormativity is associated with sobriety, losers, boredom, and the fact that too many people are in jail for wanting to have fun.
Sobernormativity is also known as an antonym to soberphobia.

Siavash: What a fucking sobernormative state!

Siavash: Let's go to San Fran and take acid since they're not as sobernormative there.
Some Loser: Sobernomativity is social construct made to protect you! Everyone should always be sober and blah blah blah blah blah, because I haven't tried drugs and I don't know what I'm missing out on.

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!
