Consumocracy
Capitalism on the consumer end-- the ability of consumers to control the quality, price, and ethical production standards of the goods that they buy through the free market system. Essentially, it is voting with your money. If enough people decide they are unhappy with a product, they can opt not to buy it, and force the company to change their policies. It is an unwritten safety net regulation that consumers in a free market can fall back on if all else fails.
Some of the more notable examples of the results of Consumocracy include dolphin-safe tuna, child-labor-free manufacturing, the growing disappearance of MSG and HFC from food products, healthier fast food menu options, and more.

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!
