Used only when a white person is speaking to or around a black person. Occurs when the white person begins to say "black" and quickly corrects him/herself to say "African-American"
The word formed when a white person attempts to glibly correct himself to sound PC, but had already started to say "black." This term usually comes out when the speaker suddenly remembers he is in the company of blafrican-americans.
"Why does Chad insist on referring to himself as 'C-dawg'. Does he think he is blafrican-american? Oh, hi Tyrone."

When African-American is too stiff and boring, and black doesn't give enough of a nod to the need for equality or the years of oppression, you need to create a new term to blaze new territory.
An African-American, except with the word, "Black" replacing the "A". Quite possibly used in ridiculous arguments to sound offended and ridiculously ridiculous. Used as a joke between friends and family members. Use with caution around strangers and online when trying to troll or joke around.
"What, is it because I'm a Blackfrican-American?! That's racist!"
"Yo! What does that even mean?! Shut up, you're stupid. You don't even mean it, you're joking, you asshole!"
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
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!
