Afterburn

When playing either "Apples to Apples" or "Cards Against Humanity," it is the feeling of massive regret you feel immediately after drawing a new card when you are stuck having played a previous answer that does not work nearly as well as the new one would have.
*player picks up new card from the deck and looks at it*

Player 1: Aw, man! This would have been way funnier than the one I put down.
Player 2: That's afterburn for you.
