A once very powerful person who is now detained.

From former strongman Rodrigo Duterte, once the immensely powerful leader of the Philippines known for his controversial, global-headline-making "war on drugs" from 2016 to 2022, who is currently detained. He is being held in The Hague facing crimes against humanity charges issued by the International Criminal Court.
He think he can escape justice due to his popularity. He is not a dutainee facing charges for his heinous crimes.

Detainee 

What governments call POWS or enemy combatants to avoid following the Geneva Convention's guidelines. Most recently used by Bush and friends in the Afghan War. This means we can torture them and do whatever we want to them. HA! they don't have rights. Civil liberties don't matter for Bush, he can just bend the rules (Patriot ACT).
Pows have rights. Detainee has no rights. Bush is an asshole who doesn't care about anybody but the rich white man. Buck Fush.

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!
