Lurgy
Approximate British equivalent of the American playground term cooties, meaning a fictitious, yet highly infectious disease. Unlike cooties, now used by adults to refer to an general undefined infectious malady.
Normally used in the form "the dreaded lurgy".
The term originates from an episode of the 1950s radio comedy "The Goon Show" in which an epidemic of "The Dreaded Lurgi" was said to be about to sweep across Britain. It turned out that the lurgi was in fact a ficitious disease created by brass instrument makers who had claimed that no brass band player had ever died of the lurgi (thereby increasing sales hugely).
"The Goon Show" was an anarchic and surreal radio comedy series that starred Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe. It was written by Spike Milligan and Eric Sykes.

I think I've got the dreaded lurgy.
He's not coming into work today, apparently he's coming down with a lurgy.
I'm not quite sure what's wrong. Just some form of lurgy.
Urgh. You've got the LURGY!

Honestly the town with all the junior high ones smoking their little e cig (it’s meant to help you quit smoking), honestly they don’t want to get caught but end up doing it at like 2:45 pm in a public park where tons of houses can see you doing the sesh. They also do weed.
Fun fact: there was some kid who was “slabbering” about a girl and ending up getting beaten; in his own house. Because everyone beat his door down.
Then we got the ones after junior high and the ones that are still in junior high shouting “FUCK THE PEELERS” “NO SURRENDER - THE POPES A BENDER”. like their so proud to
be a protestant, it’s honestly an embarrassment. Always doing weed in an abandoned factory.
lurgan is also the place that people use the phrase “Lah” instead of “Lad”. Mainly a way of acting hard

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.
