1. a Navy term meaning "overthink" that implies you are thinking like a nuke (as defined in the second definition).
2. a person in the Navy, either enlisted or officer, who has had nuclear training and currently works in the field. These people require a higher pre-entrance testing score on their ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) and tend to be smarter than the average person in the Navy, and many times tend to lack common sense.
(for definition 1):
"Don't nuke it."
"You are nuking it."
(for definition 2):
"I just finished training as a nuclear electrician, so now I'm officially a nuke!"
"You're not technically a nuke, but you sure think like one."
"You're such a nuke!"

A: So, what do you do in the Navy?

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.
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!
