• As in ‘what’s going on?, what are you up to?, how are you? or what are you doing?’
When posed to an individual, as a means of entering into a conversation. (Shortened version.)
• Used as a common, casual greeting among inner city youth and even thru middle aged individuals, from urban areas. In place of saying hi, hello, good to see you, nice to meet you etc. - Often used when simply acknowledging the presence of others. Especially when being introduced to someone new.
“Hey Dee, s’up?”
“Nothin’ much, s’up with you?”
ME- “Hey Joe, this is my brother Dwayne…(motioning between two people at first meeting; back and forth)… D, this is Joe”
JOE- “S’up!?” (Accompanied by a classic head nod.)
DWAYNE- “s’up man, how you doing?” (Enthusiastic about the meeting, extends hand to shake or slap etc.)
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
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.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
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!
