Sirius Black's nickname due to the mythical creature that was his animagus. His animagus is the padfoot (aka, Barghest of Yorkshire, Cu Sith, Shriker, Galleytrot, etc), which is a large black dog with gleaming eyes that is supposed to have represented death.

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.
