Facefishing 

An open-ended, brief Facebook status post, often 1-2 words -- such as "hmmm" or "is" -- that is merely bait, intended to solicit quick bites or responses from your audience pool.
FaceFishing post: Hmmmmm...

Biter #1: What is 'Things that make you go...'? I'll take Alphabet Soup for $400.

Biter #2: WTF? You are clearly fishing for comments with an open-ended "hmmmmm."

Biter #1 again: Maybe he's referring to a hummer received last night...or a tasty treat...not sure? Let's ask...

When facepalm isn't enough, its close relative facefist is one step up. It's used when a feeling of frustration agitation or the witnessing of an act of stupidity is so overwhelming that you feel the need to punch yourself in the face.
Teacher: Now class, can anyone tell me what the first 6 prime numbers are?

Student: uumm... 1,2,3,5,7, and 9?

Teacher: That's all correct except 2.

Student: But 5 minutes ago I thought you said that a prime number could only be divided by 1 or itself? Doesn't 2 fit those requirements?

Teacher: I'm sorry, are you saying I'm incorrect?

Student: ....Yes?

Teacher: Well in that case you just earned yourself detention!

Student: But why?

Teacher: 2 days detention!!

Student: Ma'am I----

Teacher: DO YOU WANT TO GO FOR A WEEK?!!?!?!

Student: *FACEFIST

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
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!
