A contest in which several contesting bands (generally rock) will perform in a time of roughly 10 or 15 minutes each. They are judged to decide a winner at the end.
Unless the winner of each heat is judged on points, it is really a competition of how many friends each band brings on the night. It doesn't matter if your band is any good or not, it all depends on how many votes you get at the end of the night. Which, of course, depends on how many friends you bring to the gig.
Band #1: We have 100 friends and they are all coming to the battle of the bands gig.
Band #2: Well we have 102 friends, so we will win!

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.

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!
