Traffic light system 

Ever need a clear and simple way to rate women amoungst friends? When rating women, the traffic light analysis system can be used.

To use this system one compares a woman to the three colors of a traffic light, depending on their desire to engage in sexual contact with the subject woman.

A red light: if one deems a woman to be a red light he is stating that he would fuck her but do what ever he could to conceal his actions from others finding out about it.

A yellow light: if one deems a woman as a yellow light he is stating that he would fuck her, not caring who found out, but he wouldnt tell people of his actions.

A green light: if one deems a woman as a green light, he is stating that he would fuck the subject and be proud of his actions, not hesitating to tell people what he has accomplished.

A no-go: a woman you wouln't fuck under any reasonable circumstance.

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.
