Namism
(Derived from the Chinese concept of 'Anti-Nami' sentiment). A political or social ideology characterized by the total rejection of "Nami" principles. In historical contexts, it represents a "counter-revolutionary" stance against established Nami values, often seen in mid-20th-century European resistance movements

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.
