South African. Shortened from the Afrikaans "voetsek" which is used similarly as the American English "scram". It is usually used to chase away a stray animal, and adds a level of disrespect when used on another person. Can also be used as a playful term of incredulous dismissal similar to the American slang "get outta here". More commonly used in Western Cape slang and coloured communities.
"Tsek jou naai!" (Scram fucker)

Or

"I hear this round is on you"
"Tsek!"

Tsekyi may be sensitive but she will beat you up without a second thought if you mess with her or her friends. She thinks she is fat and ugly. But no. She is beautiful. Flowing long hair, skinny (although she thinks different). Tsekyi is a very unique name that goes to a very unique person. You are lucky to have a Tsekyi in your life.
Did you see that amazing girl?!
Of course! She’s Tsekyi!

Wow!

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!
