A painful rash that occurs around your ass when working/walking in a hot climate for extended periods of time. This is caused by the bacteria around your anus thriving in a hot and dark environment. When experiencing gig butt, walking like a bow-legged cowboy is only a bandaid fix. Washing your anus (which is painful with gig-butt) is the only remedy or in a pinch, the use of baby wipes or Tucks medicated pads works wonders.
The experienced Roadie taught the stagehands how to get rid of gig butt.

When a rash develops around the anus as a result of profuse sweating caused by playing a gig. This condition generally effects drummers due to the friction and sweat buildup around the anus in conjunction with performance. Diagnosis can be determined by evaluating symptoms such as, redness, swelling, itchiness, and severe stench that tends to remain long after showering.
"Did you hear? After the gig Friday night Steve got a really bad case of gig butt. He was caught with his pants down scratching his ass in the dressing room. His roomates say the smell is so bad that they are going to ask him to move out if he keeps playing the drums. I am so glad that you never slept with him. Gross. If he keeps it up pretty soon he will get a nasty case of Swamp Ass."

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!
