n. tactlessly crying out personal secrets of others and later backtracking while blaming others for exaggerating said comments.

(As in the case of NBA Miami Heats coach Erik Spoelstra when he told press that his players, which included Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh, cried in the locker room after a tough one point loss to the Chicago Bulls following a three game losing streak. Coach later acted surprised that his comments became the main topic of sports discussion, subsequently denying the crying incident. Spoelstra blamed reporters searching for sensationalism.)
Lebron whimpering: "Coach certainly took his talents to the School of Crygate."

Wade: "Don't worry honey, go back to bed"

Chris: "Well, at least he didn't mention our names... hey, quit hogging the blanket!"

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!
