Derived from *nepote*, the ablative form of "nepōs" which in Latin is a general term for a younger relative.
I have a total of five nepots from my two siblings.

Nepeta represents the zodiac Leo. Her cave is filled with the many animal pelts that she has collected from hunting with her clawkind weapons.

She loves to RP and usually speaks in third person with as many cat puns as she can. Her trollian handle is arsenicCatnip, AC for short, and she ends many of her sentences with a double-mouthed cat symbol in honor of her lusus, Pounce de Leon :33.

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!
