trenchcoat mafia 

A loosely aligned group of misfits at Columbine High School in the time of the Columbine Shootings. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were members of the Threnchcoat Mafia.

My former academic excellence went into a tailspin in my senior year. I lapsed from all good society and fell in with the school's trenchcoat mafia. We cut class en masse and hung out in the library learning boot code and posing as text lesbians in chat rooms.

trenchcoat mafia 

The Trenchcoat Mafia was just a gropu of friends who started wearing trenchcoats as a result of one of the member's mothers buying one for him. The other members followed it because they liked the look. They were dubbed the Trenchcoat Mafia because someone had insulted them with the term and instead of seeing it as an insult they embraced it. It was also the group that Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris were associated with. Contrary to popular belief they were NOT members. They happened to be friends with on of the members, Chris Morris. The Trenchcoat Mafia was used as a scapegoat in the wake of the Columbine shootings. And even though Klebold and Harris wore trenchcoats on the day of their attack, they did not wear them regularly.
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were not members of the trenchcoat mafia.

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!
