Post-Limit
(Most Common on tumblr.com)
The post-limit is the worst possible thing that could ever happen to the common Tumblr addict. After a user posts what Tumblr finds as "too much" pictures, videos, music, etc. they will reach their Post-Limit. At first, users will usually think, "What?" and after recovering from Post-Limit Shock, they will most likely be angry. A way to bypass this is, have the user go to their settings, and change their timezone to somewhere that is one day ahead of them.

Michigan speed limit
The speed at which a cop won't pull you over in Michigan. Usually 5-10mph over the posted speed limit on main roads and 15-20mph over the posted speed limit on highways. If you don't maintain this speed you will have a line of cars behind you, each within three feet of the car in front of them. If you feel like driving under the posted speed limit and the weather conditions are anywhere near decent, then you better just pull over and let people pass you.
Mike: Hey dude, you're going way too fast, slow it down.
Nick: Naw it's alright, the Michigan speed limit on this road is 65.
Mike: Yeah I know, but you're doin' 90.
Nick: Oh. Yeah I should probably back off.

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.
