Stinginitis
Stinginitis (/ˌstin-jə-ˈnī-tīs/)
Noun
1. A chronic, untreatable psychological/behavioral condition defined by extreme stinginess despite having an abundance of resources (food, money, supplies, etc.).
2. An irrational, fearful refusal to share what one owns, driven by a self-created illusion of scarcity.
Stinginitis sufferers become anxious, possessive, and visibly annoyed when asked to share, viewing generosity as a personal attack. This condition commonly flares up around food, money, alcohol, and personal possessions.
Not to be confused with Greed: Greed is an active desire to acquire more than needed. Stinginess is a passive, fearful refusal to let go of what is already owned. Greed is driven by hunger; stinginess, by fear. A person can be both.
Key Signs: Hoarding supplies, rationing food, intently monitoring consumption of shared items, expressing visible annoyance when others take a second helping, sending payment requests for minuscule amounts, and aggressively defending personal items even when they are abundant.
Severity Scale:
Stage 1 (Mild): Shares, but follows up with complaints, sighs, or guilt-trips.
Stage 2 (Moderate): Implements strict rules, portions, and conditions for sharing.
Stage 3 (Severe / Terminal): Treats sharing as a hostile attack, aggressively enforcing ownership despite extreme abundance.
Note: Stinginitis is non-contagious and has no known cure. Trying to reason with a patient during a flare-up is ineffective.

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!
