Volvonium
Volvos are actually harder than diamonds.
They're made out of a material called
Volvonium, mined in the mountains of Sweden by
hard-working Nordic Gnomes. After the material
is melted by launching it into the sun via
herring-powered rocket, the molten Volvonium is
allowed to cool slightly, and is then beaten
into shape by Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor.

Volvo P1800
Volvo's one and only Sports Car. Introduced in 1961, the P1800 was meant to expand Volvo's lineup bying adding a Sports/Grand Touring model. Volvo made two body styles for the P1800; The coupe (Standard 2 door, 2+2), and the "shooting brake" ES, which is effectively a station wagon of sorts, Brought about by extending the rear sheetmetal and addign an all-glass tailgate, giving approximately 5ft of space behind the rear seats. The ES was first introduced in 1972, and was discontinued in 1973 (with just short of 8100 ES's being manufactured), along with the rest of the P1800 series.
The P1800 started life with Volvo's workhorse engine, the B18 (a 1.8L OHV Pushrod engine, with just over 100HP; Equipped with a pair of SU Carburettors ), gradually being upgraded to the 2 Litre B20, and eventually replacing the Carbs with Bosch D-Jetronic Fuel injection (in the 1800E). The Final P1800's had approximately 130-135HP.
The P1800's Body design was concieved under contract by Frua, an Italian design company. This gave the P1800 it's distinct lines and shape. The P1800's appearance changed little over it's production run, with the most important changes being a slightly different grille, changes in the side trim, and an interior refresh. These changes took effect in 1967 and were present on cars from that point onward. Changes strictly aesthetic, as the base sheetmetal did not change at all throughout the run (with the exception being the ES)
The 1800's shape may have suggested a sports car, but while it's performance was decidedly not lackluster (The 1961 model could do 0-60 in about 12-14 Seconds, and had a top-speed of about 105Mph), it was simply outclassed by the cars with which it competed (Jaguar's E-class, BMW, etc), though one of it's selling points was that it cost much, much less than these cars ($3995 for a P1800, vs $10,000 for the BMW, at the time). All in all, it was more of a Grand-tourer than a sports car. Volvo capitalized upon these facts, even running ads that called it "a souped-down" or "Poor-man's" Ferrari.
It was also significantly more reliable than most competing models, and Volvo capitalized upon this fact as well. A true testament to this model's reliability and longevity is the fact that the car with the Highest accrued mileage ever is a P1800 (Who's engine has only been rebuild once in it's 2.5 million mile run.)

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!
