Trumpology

Contrary to the traditional apology or statement of regret for one's actions, the trumpology is where one actually doubles down, steers into the skid, and makes a comment that serves to inflate the original offense.
Trumpology ex #1:
Anderson Cooper: "Mr. Trump, many activists are demanding that you apologize for claiming that you will build a wall along the US-Mexico border if elected president. What do you have to say to them?"
The Donald: "We're gonna build a wall...and Mexico is going to pay for it!"

Trumpology ex #2:
Reporter: "Johnny, now that you've been released from the Browns, are you going to clean up your act?"
Johnny Manziel: "I'm living out in LA with my guy, Von Miller. We might be partying six nights a week but we're trying to get our lives together, bro. I just wanna ball, bro. I don't think there's anything wrong with partying, bro. There's a difference between partying and being out of control."

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!
