The five elements of voguing 

This dance style was developed in the 1960’s in the Black and Latino Gay Ballroom Scene in Harlem New York. It was inspired by Vogue Magazine and the poses models would strike in order to be photographed. Examples of this art form can be seen in the film Paris is Burning.

And fuck Madonna’s video. The bitch!!!!

The five foundational elements of Voguing are: Hand/Arm Performance, Catwalk, Duckwalk, Spins & Dips and Floor Performance. From these five pivotal elements arise three primary styles:

Old Way: formerly also known as pop dip & spin or performance. This is the original voguing style and the basis for the development of the subsequent contemporary styles. Voguing in the old way it its purest form is a dance duel between two rivals. New Way and Vogue Fem grew from this foundational form.

New way: characterized by its precision in creating complex angles, boxes, lines and illusions with the arms, wrists and hands. It was used by performers inspired by the extreme flexibility and poses of contortionists, gymnast, yoga practitioners and haute couture fashion.

Vogue Fem is based on Old Way performance and embodies an extremely feminine appearance and movement. Its influences come from Modern Dance, Ballet, Figure Skating and Pantomime. The two characteristic dynamics in the presentation of this style are: “dramatic” – very fast with impressive and “soft & cunt” that emphasizes the grace and beauty of women by rather slow movements.
The five elements of voguing are analogous to the five elements of Hip-Hop; and, both art forms borrowed the five elements structure from Kung Fu movies shown on 42nd street before Disney and gentrification turned The Deuce into a tourist trap,

Elements of Harmony

A group of objects in "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" used my the Mane 6 to defeat Nightmare Moon and Discord. There are six elements: Kindness (Fluttershy), Generosity (Rarity), Honesty (Applejack), Laughter (Pinkie Pie), Loyalty (Rainbow Dash), and Magic (Twilight Sparkle).

Doing acts of kindness, generosity, etc., earn you points in that category, as in the game "Adventures in Ponyville" on The Hub's website.
Discord escaped from his stone prison, but the Mane 6 managed to use the Elements of Harmony to defeat him.

Diatomic Elements 

Diatomic elements are pure elements that form molecules consisting of two atoms bonded together.

Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, iodine, astatine and bromine.
When diatomic elements are converted to gaseous atoms, only half a mole of molecules will be needed, as the standard enthalpy change is based purely on the production of one mole of gaseous atoms.

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!
