reticulating splines
Nonsense technobabble used in a production context.
Reticulating splines started off as an in-joke at Maxis and grew to fame with the widespread popularity of The Sims. While it does have a "real" meaning, this definition isn't actually correct in the context of its use. It's really a programming joke.
Reticulating splines is essentially filler. Don't want to describe what's holding up the program? It's reticulating splines. Why isn't the Internet working? The splines aren't reticulated. Heck, don't want to explain your calculus assignment? We're reticulating splines this week.
See also processor gremlins for the computer hardware equivalent.

Religious-Reich
RELIGIOUS-REICH was a term coined on "ChristmasIsAlie.com" to refer to"Christian-fascism" ideology which became present in American Evangelical circles during the Bush administration, documented in a book by War correspondent, Chris Hedges, "Christian Fascism and the War on America", as a result of Fox News indoctrination of conservative Audiences unknowingly being trained with World War II, Nazi political ideology and propaganda within a previously "Conservative-Religious" framework.
He used to be a "Religious-Conservative" but now he's part of the "Religious-Reich". He defends torture, wants to over-throw the U.S. government for a "Christian-Nation", and thinks "Religious Freedom" is actually something evil that must be destroyed.

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.

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!
