casual filter
A part or stage in a game that escalates in difficulty in a very short period of time, separating the casuals from the actual gamers.
Not to be confused with a steep/vertical learning curve, as these mean that the game is hard to learn and master from the beginning.
Games with a casual filter will give you a false feeling of confidence as the filter comes after you have learned the basics and started progressing, just to catch you off guard and make your run end, usually having to start from zero again.
Some examples of casual filters in games include the winter in Project Zomboid and your first goblin raid in Dwarf Fortress

Dude Filter
The filter in guys' brains which keeps unspoken love and affection for one another unspoken, as it should be.
When a guy shows way too much physical and verbal affection for another guy, making otherwise normal situations and interactions creepy, awkward and uncomfortable, he has ignored his Dude Filter:
-Extra long hugs.
-Telling a guy he's sweet and you love him.
-Talking way too close to him.

sock filler
A (generally) teen-age boy who spends the majority of his time masturbating into a tube sock. Sock fillers tend to be socially awkward, often standing slack-jawed while in the presence of their female classmates.
"As the girls' P.E. class ran past, a large number of sock fillers began to shift uncomfortably and mumble to each other."

album filler
When a band releases an album where there's only a couple good songs, and they need more to make a whole album, so they make crappy songs knowing they aren't that great just to complete the CD since you need at least around 8 songs for a good CD.
The Shins' new album "Wincing the Night Away" has only a few great songs on it, and around 15 tunes in total, so they make a bunch of album fillers in order to make it a full-length album

womp
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.
