Wibonics
A Baltimore-influenced variation of ebonics spoken by white people after watching reruns of The Wire, one of the greatest shows in the history of television.
Wibonics is neither linguistic slumming, nor an example of whites being "thieving motherfuckers," as Sgt. Carver says of the character Frog in Season 2. While occasionally used ironically (or "Wironically"), Wibonics is often uncontrollably spoken due to its novel and mellifluous nature. White people have been known to speak Wibonics up to 36 hours after one viewing of The Wire.
Proper Wibonics includes usage of the word hopper (young runner for drug dealers), pronouncing dog "dug," and ending sentences with the word "yo," or, when appropriate, "shit" pronounced sheeeeeeeeit. (See Clay Davis.)
Authenticity may be added by mentioning crab chips, Hamsterdam, or corners (street intersections where drugs are purchased).

T: Hey Brant, throw down one a' them scones, yo.
B: What's that, Thad? I'm confused.
T: Sorry, I was speaking Wibonics. I watched The Wire last night.
Call off your Italian Greyhound, yo. Don't you know I'm scared of dugs? Sheeeeeeeeit.
I don't want to stand on the corner, I'm fearful that one of those hoppers might steal my crab chips.

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!
