Naijiahuang 

B-boys of Asian descent.

Break dancing, in the 80s and early 90s, was predominantly the domain of African-Americans. Participants were/are referred to as b-boys.

The New York colloquialism came into popular use in the late 1990s with the increased popularity of break dancing among Asian-American youth. It has since spread throughout Northeast colleges and universities.
Walking through Union Square park, we saw a few Naijiahuangs performing head spins.

I went to the dance competition on Slope Day and a Naijiahuang stole the show.

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!
