Womp and Circumstance

The anthem which is played on graduation day/night for those who didn't meet the necessary academic standards for graduation, or in other words, for those who womped in school (to make use of the word coined by T.J. from the cartoon series, 'Recess')
(In the setting of a high school auditorium):

"Oh, they're playing 'womp and circumstance', Charlie should be processing out any second."

circustances

A situation that arises when a bunch of dumb-ass clowns and one-trick ponies try to make something happen in a work meeting. Also usually involves some under-handed knife throwing.

exscream circumstances

Can refer to either:
(1) Conditions so frustrating/stressful/frightening that you cannot help shrieking in terror or exasperation, or
(2) A situation where you are obliged (or feel free!) to holler at your former lover/spouse.
Against my better judgement, I took a middle-aged alcoholic dude to see his former girlfriend about the possibility of his moving back in with her. She was visibly annoyed at the encounter and even seemed somewhat put out with **me** for even having brought that deadbeat to her house in the first place, so I treaded super-lightly, gently explaining to her that the guy had merely asked me for a ride there ("I know nothing about this matter, Ma'am; I'm just the driver."); I could clearly see that these were definitely exscream circumstances.

Pomp & Circumstance

All the attention and flattery your loved ones give you to remind you that you're one badass bitch for graduating. Usually, complete with a sheet cake & champagne.

It's just like being prison gay, but it's ALL THE TIME!

Circumstances

The whole 'You're exactly were you deserve to be' rhetoric is more for the people for the people saying it than it is for the people listening. It's a way for them to affirm that THEY deserve THEIR competence. "I dEsErVe ThIs!" They cry as they clench their bad of money 💰 It's a way of dismissing circumstance all together as though external factors don't, I don't know, lead people to ending up in gas chambers, or the ground, or a Romanian prison.
Hym "This is what I mean by pandering to masochistic disaffected men who want to be told they are shit. I mean, seriously. Cut everyone out of your life (unless they have some vague goal of making money) and get off social media (except to watch my channel). If you're dealt a red 7 and a black 2 your skill at poker isn't going to change your circumstances more than the flop. The guy across the table could very well have cards up his sleeve. Shit, the dealer could turn over 3 7s. You could buff your way out of it. But no one can blame you for losing that hand.
