A Murray State 

A murray state is a possesed state one finds themselve in after a heavy night of drinking and a lack of sleep. You wake up and find murray has possesed you, side effects include extremely old croaky voice, constant coughing and snorting and weakening of the limbs, just like an old man.

Murray is an evil old man, who attacks you when you are weak, i.e. after a heavy night of drinking and lack of sleep. He possess's you in your sleep and leaves you in constant pain in the morning. But after a cheeky bacon sarnie the murray state subsides.

Currently the only victim of 'A Murray' is Jamie Harrison-Payne but it is belived the ghost of old man murray is breeding and spreading accross the country, high jacking other innocent indivduals.

A Peter Murray

The word originates from the Latin word petal las del murrat, which means to be hungry, but some English man mistranslated and misspelled the word to make this word
Bro that guy acts like my dad, he’s such a Peter Murray

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!
