The Moxie Effect 

When a woman purposely sabotages her man's look in order to make him less attractive to the opposite sex, much like Moxie drinkers can leave their nasty tasting soda in the fridge for months untouched by anyone who is thirsty, tap water is a better option. Anyone who drinks Moxie assures themselves that nobody will ever touch their soda.
Gisele Bundchen telling Tom Brady his scraggly looking hair looks "great". Clearly she has an arterial motive of making him less attractive to other models thus the Moxie Effect.

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.

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!
