The Dash Effect

The notion that culture is pervasive enough to individually redefine race.
(1) Dash was raised in Ethiopian projects on Fillmore St; despite being white, he more closely identifies with black culture, therefor exemplary of The Dash Effect.

(2) The Dash Effect is pronounced in Creedence Clearwater Survival’s ‘Bayou Country’ album wherein a bunch of San Franciscan boys perfectly emulate bayou blues.

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!
