Bathmophobia
Derived from the Ancient Greek βάσις (Bathos, “step”) and φόβος (phobos, “fear”) it can be defined in at least two ways:
1 The fear of stairs or steep slopes;
2 The fear of walking;
Usually it is taken to mean the fear of stairs or steep slopes and, in some cases, this fear can be so acute that merely seeing stairs or a steep slope can induce a panic attack.

Donald Trump is said to suffer from bathmophobia which probably explains why he holds the handrail tightly when negotiating stairs. It might be interesting to see what would happen if he was on a set of transparent, open-plan stairs with no handrail.

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!
