Thank god 

A reflexive, boarderline meaningless, phrase used almost exclusively in the context of personal relief, windfall, satisfaction or overall unexpected, positive outcome--despite the existence of obvious, more likely and far less supernatural explanations.
>Oh, I just thank god that I survived my cancer...
<Ummm, didn't you have like--state-of-the-art medical treatment including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy? Aren't you thankful for THAT and the fuck-load of human support that came with it? Why don't you thank god for blessing you with cancer while you're at it?

Thank God 

Typically used in 2 different mannerist styles which can consist of thankful, or a sarcastic style.

Thankful : this tends to be a more religious action which is typically used by those in the Catholic/Christian faith and is often spoken amongst members when you are thankful that something happened; all is going well. This phrase is most typically used by Caucasian and Hispanic members

Sarcastic : this phrase when used in a sarcastic tone can be referred to as “thank god” which is a common analogy for the phrase “you need Jesus” and “find god” used by many Catholic community members. This word is predominantly found in African American/Hispanic households.
Ex.1 thank god that jimmy decided to let us host a party at his house

Ex.2 Jose : I think we should go get wasted

Abby : I don’t think so

Jose : I’ll do it with or without you

Abby : Thank God *cringes*

Thank God for Mississippi 

Mississippi is stereotyped as being at the top of bad categories (crime), and at the bottom of good categories (education). "Thank God for Mississippi" is often used in relief, because statistically speaking, Mississippi will be worse off than your state.
When he got the new rankings of primary education by state, the state superintendent of education exclaimed "Thank God for Mississippi" in relief.

Thank God it’s all over! 

The long awaited joyful exclamation, the parallel sentiment to “Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead!” from The Wizard of Oz,” that most sane folk will be feeling, as the Extortionist in Chief is led out of the White House in shiny handcuffs and a handsome straightjacket.
We can all begin the recovery now and breathe a mass sigh of relief as we say in unison, “thank God it’s all over!”

Thank God for small favors 

An ancestor of this phrase is "Thank heaven for small mercies". It's often used sarcastically to express relief that an unpleasant person or situation is avoided or gone.
"That annoying student finally moved to another state," the secretary told the principal.
"Thank God for small favors," replied the Principal.

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!
