In the jailhouse 

a term for a secretly-homosexual person who has already been looked down on, hated, or disliked for his views, opinions, or actions by people around him (thus he has been "put in jail") and is in a situation in which if he admits he is a homosexual, he will be or is afraid he will be hated or be treated even worse he is treated or despised now.
Mustapha al-Khalil (fictional person) is a 27 year old Saudi Arabia author/activist. Though loved by a few, he is well hated by many, especially his own Saudi countrymen, for his opinions concerning the role of Islam in Saudi Arabian and other Middle eastern societies (He believes that, ideally, Islam should have little if NO role in public society and if religion be desired, people should be educated about the beliefs and existence of other faiths with the freedom to choose and practice.), relationship of Arab nations with Israel (He believes that his nation of Saudi Arabia should have diplomatic relations with Israel.)and hates the Islamic customs in which women wear the hejab/burka/abayas. (He thinks that these religious customs in particular are unnecessary and just plain wrong for women. He hated the fact that his mother and sisters wore this.) so, again, he is well hated in Saudi Arabia, the Arab world and by Muslims all around the world. Another thing about Mustapha is that he is sexually attracted to young men like himself and he knows it, but he refuses to come out about his sexuality. Mustapha is not in the closet. Mustapha is in the jailhouse.

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!
