nerdstered 

A phenomenon resulting from an attempt to pass off a fallacious story as factual, only to subsequently have the story proven wrong, resulting in exhibited defensiveness, bitterness and embarrassment on the part of the teller of said false story.

Synonym: PWNT
The term was derived from the following thread (created by a poster names "nerdster") on the NC State message boards:
http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=178&f=2535&t=2721704

Note the weak attempts at insulting those who are laughing at the expense of him having "nerdstered" himself throughout the thread.

Nerdster 

Someone who could very easily be a nerd, but is reserved in class, and almost never shows off his intelligence. Considered to be very cool by his peers. Usually a lot smarter than the suck-ups, nerds, teacher's pets, etc, and is the real teacher's favorite.
Teacher: Now who can tell me what the white whale symbolizes in Moby Dick?

Regular Nerd: That's simple! The whale is evil!

Teacher: Very good, the exact answer i was looking for! Wait, Mr. Fisher, what do you think?

Fisher: The whale symbolizes a vengeful God. This was forshadowed by the sermon on Jonah's hubris near the beginning. Ahab thought he was a modern day Jonah, and he thought he could kill God. But, his life is taken in the end because of his hubris, similar to Jonah.

Teacher: That... That's brilliant, Mr. Fisher...brilliant.

Student: Dude, you're such a nerdster!

Fisher: Meh.

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!
