emp
The EMP, or Electromagnetic pulse, is a rapid magnetic fluctuation which induces pulses of current in unshielded electronics. Natural sources of EMP include lightning, whereas artificial ones include a nuclear blast.
A nuclear blast generates an EMP via gamma radiation interacting with air molecules to create Compton electrons. These create a brief current and an associated electromagnetic pulse. This is especially hazardous with an exo-atmospheric nuclear blast outside the atmosphere, as the region affected by Compton electrons in such a manner becomes enormous and the electrons will rotate around the Earth's natural magnetic field lines, creating a vast pulse.
EMPs and NEMPs are extremely hazardous to unshielded electronics, causing rapid fluctuations in current, especially in long wires or antennae.

Yes, this might be something of an intellectual masturbation, but it's more fun than actually working. Hey-ho.

1. ElectroMagnetic Pulse. A "wave" that could potentially cripple every industrialized nation, silently. It basically fries circuits in an electronic device, rendering it useless. And since most national defense grids are made up of electronic relay circuits, you've got yourself a prime target right there.
2. English Muffin Pizza. The name pretty much speaks for itself; it's a pizza on an English Muffin. Very tasty with the right combination of sauce and cheese.

1. A nuclear bomb is not only catastrophic for living things, but it can also shut down an entire city WITHOUT killing a single person. Theoretically.
2. EMP's are a great dinner when you're too poor to afford a real pizza, or you're just to lazy to pick up the damn phone and call Domino's.

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.
