Hicksploitation
A genre of movies most popular in the 1970s but stretching from the 1950s to modern day in which the setting of the film was the American Deep South aka the Heart of Dixie. While this could range anywhere from Virginia to West Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, and West Virginia were the most popular
Hicksploitation films are NOT simply films set in the South but featured certain aspects that made them true hicksploitation. Most notable of these is the appearance of backwoods folks, the notorious hillbilly, and usually (but not always) in a negative context, typically as a foil against the "citified" interloper. Hicksploitation saw its zenith with the release of Deliverance in 1972. Hillbillies in these films are typically shown as shamelessly ignorant, sexually degenerate, and prone to violence. Other hallmarks of the hickspolitation films are sweaty, sweaty men, references to moonshining (though illegal production of marijuana has replaced bootleg liquor in some modern films), incestuous relations, deformed children of incest, and frequent appearance of the Confederate Battle Flag aka Stars and Bars.
Some of the best known examples of hicksploitation would be Deliverance, the Walking Tall series and the recent remake of Straw Dogs.

"Some people like classy depictions of rural poor like Winter's Bone, I prefer my white trash in gritty, nasty hicksploitation films. Give me Wrong Turn!"

A genious. One of the most free-thinking and open-minded people I have ever heard. If you've never seen any of his stand up, do yourself a favor and get the DVD.
Today young men on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one conciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream in which we are the imagination of ourself...here's Tom with the weather.
If you don't think drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor, go home and take all your albums, tapes, cds...and burn them. Cause, you know what, all those musicians who made that great music that has enhanced your lives throughout the years...real fucking high on drugs.

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.

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!
