3 the hard way

An impossibility; very hard to achieve. Refers to craps term "the hard way" where two dice must be rolled with matching numbers. EX: 6 the hard way would be 3/3, not 5/1 or 2/4. Therefore, 3 the hard way would be im-fucking-possible.

Seven the Hard Way 

Seven the Hard Way was a Pat Benetar album, and it's a (sort of) reference to the game of craps. "The Hard Way" in craps is rolling doubles - so, Ten the Hard Way is a pair of 5's. (It is twice as hard to get 2 5's as a 4 with a 6). But, you can't roll "Seven the Hard Way" - there's no way to roll doubles and get an odd number!
From the Pat Benetar Fan Club:

"Seven albums in seven years...
Two dice...3½ dots each.
Seven the hard way."

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!
