1. What Do You Mean? Jargon used for simplifying text-based interactions between two or more people, used in a way similar to the more popular "lol" "rofl" and "wtf."

2. World Defining Yore-based Machine. A fictional device created by lesser-known author Francine Gaffigan (of Iowa), as a reference and alleged homage to Rube Goldberg, the man behind the concept known as the "Rube Goldberg Device."

The WDYM, in short, was a shopping-mall sized machine which would somehow gather the latent energy in every dream by every man, woman, and child within a 5 mile radius, which would then be used as a cleaner, safer version of more conventional power plants. This energy would then be used to power an exceptionally large virtual game world which would be based partially on the ideas encoded within the captured dream energy.

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!
