A move often made by those who are using EBT/food stamps but do not really need them. The person goes to a store and pays for all of their food with the food stamps. After walking away from the check-out lane, and possibly even going out to the car and putting the groceries away, they return and make some comment about having forgotten something. Then they go get their cigarettes and cases of beer. If possible, they enter a different check-out lane than before, hoping nobody will notice that they just used food stamps but now have plenty of cash for alcohol and tobacco.
Cashier #1: How many cases of beer did that woman buy?
Cashier #2: Ten.
Cashier #1: Wow. She must have spent more money than she did on food when she was in my lane just now.
Cashier #2: Did she pay with food stamps?
Cashier #1: Yeah, why?
Cashier #2: She came to my lane so you wouldn't see how much cash she has to spend on beer. Food stamp turn around.
Hym "It's a thinly veiled threat to the populous. 'Keep working and shut that guy up or we'll turn off the food stamps' that's what this is right here."
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!
