Dehydration Gun 

The inverse of a Chekhov's Gun.

A literary device that would be perceived as vital to the plot of a story, only to hold little to no actual significance later.

Not to be confused with a Red Herring, which are used intentionally to mislead or distract the reader. A Dehydration Gun would commonly result from poor writing decisions, or plot holes.

The term derives from an item of the same name, in the movie 'Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate', where it would have been a valid solution to many of the obstacles the movie provides, but is not used.
"Wait... Couldn't they have just used that thing from the beginning of the story?"

"I know, right? But no, it just turned out to be a Dehydration Gun."

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.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.

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!
