Go find someone who will shake you up. 

Origin on the streets of Israel, used by the natives instead of the harsh "Go Fxxx Yourself" phrase. This is basically used to point that sentence, while evoiding the certain conflict with those you tell it to, if one would have used the harsh "Go Fxxx Yourself" phrase.
In other context, can be used to descride a very difficult situation one can get into, and have no way out of.
EX-1:
- "Last night I visited your mother, and she gave me a Blxxx Jxx..."
- "Oh, yea? Well, Go find someone who will shake you up".

EX-2:
- "...If you'll take a loan on the black market it will help you right away, but in just a few monthes, the itrest will make your depth to the sharks so high, you can then Go find someone who will shake you up".

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!
