Cow topping 

The selective removal of the extremities of a cow. Such trimming can give better shape to the cow and will encourage further growth.

When cows grow too leggy, it can be helpful to lop excess growth, which will promote the cow to fill out instead of growing too tall and spindly.

Not to be confused with cow tipping, which is the act of giving monetary reward to cows that have provided good service.
Monty Don: In this episode of Gardeners' World, I will be showing the techniques of cow topping, using my small chainsaw and pruning secateurs.

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!
