Last straw
The latest in a series of distressing but regularly tolerated events that gives rise to the first obvious sign of intolerance towards the offending party, usually in the form of a drastic decision or the offer of an ultimatum. May have come from shortening the idiom/expression "the straw that breaks the camel's back", relating the distress caused by the offending party to stacking straw on the back of a camel over time until it collapses under the weight.
After a series of non-explicit infarctions, Jimmy McGill loudly disturbing his coworkers with his bagpipes is the last straw that forces Cliff Main to fire him from his law firm without cause.

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.
