Cross-Thumbing 

Cross-Thumbing is a technique developed by Dr. Mark Ringwald PhD. and Dr. Nick Pollack PhD. at their video gaming ergonomic laboratories at Brandeis University. The technique is mostly applied when playing the Nazi Zombie segment of "Call of Duty: World at War". The technique consists of controlling the right thumb stick of an XBox 360 controller with one's left thumb while the right thumb is occupied with pressing one of the four buttons above the right thumb stick. The crossing over of the left thumb across the center of the controller, and in said gaming application is most useful while rebuilding barriers in the zombie level's windows to slow down the flow of zombies in the house. The technique allows the player to repair said barrier as well as aim and dispatch targets within the level.

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!
