MASK Is a Four-Letter Word 

When non-mask-wearing in public has become a symbol of noncompliance, defiance, or rebellion among members of right-wing political parties or alt-right religious or conspiratorial groups.
Hardcore white racists and supremacists in the US and the West deny the protective health benefits of the mask against the coronavirus—for them, mask is a four-letter word, and donning a mask is a vain habit of the weaklings, who have surrendered their personal rights to the authority.

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!
