The Curtis Effect is the action in which a person has something done to them, but this person takes either way to long to realise what's happened (a major delayed reaction) or to over emphasise the action done to them, for example someone getting punched and the person that gets hit would fly across the room. This effect tends to take place to people with 100 subscriber YouTube channels and above (this isn't yet known why).
*Person 1 hits Person 2*
(Person 3) "Why did he go so far"
(Person 4) "Must be the Curtis Effect again"
Yeah, no, there will always be childless people and no you don't get more votes for having children. You don't have a more of a stake in the future. This is just another greedy breeder ploy to elevate their own level of existential importance.
Hym "No. That's ridiculous. You need to start putting an asterisk next to everything these idiots say. 'I think anyone who does my incest cult should get a million votes!' Says the incest cultist. "All of the laws should directly reflect my incest cults rules!' Says the incest cultists!"
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!
