Acronym: "Fuck You, Got My Orders"; more pointed and personal variant of FIGMO (nothing matters; short-timer; under 90 days prior to reporting for next assignment). Found widespread use during the Viet Nam "conflict"; representative of the changed generational attitudes between WWII and post-Korean "conflict". Used especially toward authority figures; illustrative of the military's reliance on orders considered unchangeable once committed to paper and signed by even higher authority. The attitude arose from the conviction by dogfaces that they could commit murder while FYGMO and the court martial wouldn't take place until they reached their next assignment.
Straighten your uniform, uncover in the house and get a haircut, ya sad sack!" "I'm FYGMO, Looie; I'll see YOU back in the world."

FYGM means "fuck you, got mine".

By extension, FYGMism (capitalising the initial acronym) is the philosophy that one places their own collection of material wealth or goods over the greater good of the society or of their community, writ large.
Ayn Rand is all about FYGMism. People pretend she's a libertarian, but really was just interested in quietly saying "fuck you, got mine".

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!
