postfix spoiler alert

An acknowledgment of a spoiler very much like a spoiler alert except that it's provided after rather than before the spoiler in question. See, for example, the Dinosaur Comics strip for April 15, 2011.

By extension, any would-be warning preceded by the thing it's supposed to warn against.
"So then Snape kills Dumbledore. That's a particularly infamous spoiler." "Nice postfix spoiler alert, you numskull." / A week after the drop deadline, the registrar told me I was taking the wrong classes and wouldn't be able to graduate till next semester. Talk about a postfix spoiler alert! Does he think I'm Merlin or something?

White spoiler 

Built on the same model as "white lie", a white spoiler is either:
- a spoiler of no (serious) consequences
- a spoiler dropped by accident
A: "Did she just spoil the entire film?"
B: "No, don't worry. It's just white spoiler. She only told you what happens in the first two minutes of the movie."

or

A: "Jimmy! You just told me how the story ends!"
B: "Oops… Sorry. White spoiler. It just came out."

no spoiler rule

An unwritten rule which involves people telling others NOT to spoil the events which would go on in either a movie, TV show, video game or anything else that entertains a person. It soon became really popular in social media through memes, posts, videos & etc.
It was a no spoiler rule which prompted my refusal to watch"Avengers: Endgame" simply because I feared people would cause problems if I was to break it.

University of Spoiled Foreigners 

With over eighty countries represented in the student body, children of incomprehensible means from Latin America, Europe, and Southeast Asia attend this Jesuit institution, and pay tuition on par with Stanford or an Ivy League school. These students are frequently seen driving Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, Porsches, Lotuses, and BMW's, and carrying purses made by Prada, Jimmy Choo, and D&G. Instead of studying, they can often be found congregating in VIP sections of clubs such as Ruby Skye, running thousand-dollar-plus tabs on a regular basis. Spoiled is interchangeable with snotty or snobby, as in the University of Snotty/Snobby Foreigners.

Also known as the University of San Francisco.
I went by the University of Spoiled Foreigners today, and saw someone's Ferrari getting towed for parking in front of a fire hydrant. I left just as he started throwing a temper tantrum in front of the tow truck, but it was pretty funny watching him throw his iPhone in disgust. I guess Daddy is getting the bill for this.
