Colbertistas
The group of followers of Stephen Colbert (host of The Colbert Report) who act on suggestions made during the show. The term was first used on the talk page of the Wikipedia entry for elephant, after Colbert called for the entry to be modified to reflect a (fictitious) three-fold increase in the elephant population. The Colbertistas are said to engage in Colberrorism.

Colbertity
The Law of Colbertity states that Steven Colbert is so awesome that if he were to become less awesome, he would only become more awesome, and if he were to become more awesome he would become less awesome. This is caused by the fact that Colbert is the highest point of awesome, there is no match to his level of "Awesomeness" and there is no exceeding his level due to the limitations of the English word "Awesome." If he were to become less awesome the peak of awesomeness would lower with Colbert.

colbertian
adjective--a state of cocksure audacity, brilliantly brash and of breathtakingly behemothic gonadal proportion.
Origin-- This word was coined following Stephen Colbert's perfomance at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner, April 29, 2006, where Mr. Colbert, using brilliant wit and biting satire, had the courage to prove that Emperor George Bush had no clothes and that the entire Washington press corp was asleep at the switch.
Mr. Colbert's demonstration of testicular fortitude-- his brazen display of juevos grandes-- has certainly earned him the right to his own English language adjective. COLBERTIAN

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.
