Generally stands for 'What the royal fuck'.

A more grandiose version of "wtf" (What the fuck).

Used when "wtf" just isn't enough to express one's surprise/shock/anger etc.

it might be 'What the real fuck'. I wrote it as typo a minute before I went to post it here. It would not be a synonym to WTFR, because WTFR feels like if you are expressing shock.
I would put it somewhere between WTF and WTBS.

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!
