Slinky Dublin bus 

The slinky Dublin bus was a mode of transport used by Dublin Bus during the emergency (1939-1945), in response to the huge strain put on public transport systems due to the increase in the price of fuel caused by the second world war which meant people could no longer afford personal transport.

The slinky Dublin bus ceased operations shortly after the second world war due to being made redundant by the invention of the double decker bus.
Their continued existance in Irish society is a myth fabricated by many of the upper class within Irish society who wish to scare their childeren away from ever using a disguting public transport system used by common people.
The parents have gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure the success of their plan by implanting false memories of slinky Dublin buses in the minds of their children like in that movie with Leonardo DiCaprio.
This leads to their children being fully convinced of the continued existence of the slinky Dublin bus even when provided with overwhelming evidence to the contrary
The slinky Dublin Bus isn't a thing

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.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

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!
