Ringalevio 

A NYC street game from the 1930s-1960s where two teams would be chosen, one called "Rabbits" the other "Foxes." The Rabbits run and hide while the Foxes count to 100. After counting, the Foxes head out to search for Rabbits and capture them by holding on to them, saying "Ringalevio 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3!" They are then placed in a common area called the Jail. When all the Rabbits are captured and in Jail, the first round of the game ends. The teams then switch names and repeat in round two. A free Rabbit can sneak up upon the Jail and, by smacking the wall at the Jail, can free ALL of the captured Rabbits. To prevent this, the Foxes always kept a "Jailer" at the Jail to capture any sneaky Rabbit trying for a Jailbreak. This game could take 4-5 hours to complete, depending upon the number of players.

A version of Hide & Seek combined with Tag.
We played an awesome game of Ringalevio today! We had 40 kids and there were 4 jailbreaks. What a blast!

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!
