white van man

A threat to road safety, these kinds of so-called drivers spend their time wolf-whistling at women, making stupid gestures with their hands at passers-by and generally carrying on as though they're on the dodgems. They can be found in vans of any colour, or other vehicles such as lorries, but the white van seems to have become traditional with people whose IQs are lower than their shoe size. They are often fat and reckon they're well'ard and'll give yer a slap, yer know wot I mean, mate?
A short guide to white van man hand signals.
Middle finger = "This is the number of my IQ"
Hand-cranking gesture = "This is what I do often because I can't pull a bird on account of too many of them having a brain".
Honking their horn = "I'm a complete inadequate and my vehicle's an altermnative to a dick".

white van man

A complete genius driver. Spends all day on the roads and driving is the main part of the job (builders and alike are not true WVM, a disgrace, a car driver in a van). Yes they undertake because car drivers do not keep left. Yes they brake hard as they are annoyed at cars tailgating (90% BMW drivers, 10% chavs with 12 exhausts on a £50 renault5) Yes they are angry as you would be if someone came into your office and told you how to push your pen. Couriers are the elite who have to put up with the brain dead car drivers who enter a motorway once a year and enter the middle lane immediately for no reason, have to put up with cars tailgating when it is clear the van is waiting to overtake the thick car driver in front who is overtaking nothing, who have to sit behind car drivers who think that if in a traffic jam leaving a 60ft gap infront will somehow make the traffic jam shorter and when they pass the accident causing the jam will spend half an hour rubber necking it. Yes we are angry and have to do unlawful driving but why?...... Because the useless car drivers irritate the f*** out of us!!!!!!!! When you drive 2000 miles a week, you can tell us how to drive, until then keep left on a motorway out of the way. PS nice t1ts love!!!
White Van Man Is the king of the road!!! Builders vans are filled with useless car drivers in a vehicle they cant control, couriers rule!!!!!!

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!
