The word INORY it self is a simple anagram on IRONY.

Inory is the complete opposite of being sarcastic and/or ironic. This word may come in handy for persons that use sarcasm and irony a little bit too often, but that wants to be straightforward, non-ironic, and frank once in a while.

Inory is an oral and verbal marker used in situations where people misinterpret your honest intention of being nice/direct/straight/frank, and misunderstands it as you being sarcastic or ironic.
It is used to tidy up messy situations where sarcasm (and irony) ain’t that appropriate - but where, you somehow, have managed step right into the bear trap of being seen as some kind of insensitive asshole that blatantly flaunts his/her evil wits whenever he get the chance.

In other words: Inory is when you say exactly what you mean, without trying to be smart, witty, hilarious, or bitter.
X: Look at my new shirt. I bought it yesterday, isn't it nice?
Y: Yeeaah... *hrm* ...rrreally nice...
X: What? What's wrong with it!?! I think it is cute.
Y: ...Oh, nothing. I mean, what could possibly be wrong about a *hrm* _shirt_ like that? ...Really nice shirt; I wished I had one exactly like that, that's how much I like your shirt. I mean: Oh goody! What a shirt!
X: You're mean! Why do you have to be mean and sarcastic all the time?
Y: Hey hey, easy now! I wasn't mean, ironic, or sarcastic at all. Pumpkin, I was just INORIC. I really mean it when I say that I like your new shirt.
X: Oh? Hahaha! Oh so you do like the shirt!
Y: Of course *hrrm* I do. How could anybody not like that shirt...
X: Uh? What did you mean by that? I thought you j-...
Y: Inory baby, inory.

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!
