reese's law 

"As a twitter hashtag grows larger, the probability of a comparison to terrorists or ISIS approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that argument is over, and whoever mentioned terrorists has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Reese's law thus practically guarantees of an upper bound on a hashtags lifespan and overall size.

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.
