oppenheimer moment 

Not to be confused with an epic gamer moment.
It is a moment of realisation of how bad of a person you are after killing literally billions of NPCs and/or committing other unbelievable atrocities in videogames.
This expression is actually referencing a famous quote of J.Robert Oppenheimer, one of the father's of US nuclear program. While describing his feelings from witnessing the first explosion of an atomic bomb, he said:

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that one way or another".

gosh this be giving me goosebumps every f-ing time.
I've stopped playing Plague Inc. after realising that I've actually killed 7 billions of people like 7 times. That was trully an oppenheimer moment.

Ogleheimer's 

A condition seen in aging baby-boomers in which the sight of a much younger gorgeous person causes acute memory loss.
Betty: "I'd just finished checking out at the supermarket yesterday when I saw the most incredible sexy young guy in the next line. I walked around a little bit to get some better views and then I followed him to his car. I was about to drive after him, but when I got to my car, I realized I'd left my hand bag at the counter. By the time I rushed back, he was gone."
Boopsie: "I'd say you got a really bad case of Ogleheimer's."

Oppenheimer

Schrodinger's Oppenheimer 

A delightfully perplexing cosmic conundrum paying homage to the renowned physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his pivotal role in the development of the first nuclear bomb. This whimsical phenomenon embodies the essence of quantum absurdity, where one's taste buds are suspended in a state of delectable uncertainty. Picture this: sinking your teeth into a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie while simultaneously stubbing your toe on an oblivious coffee table. In that fleeting moment, the universe playfully merges the blissful sweetness of the cookie with the agonizing pain of the stubbed toe, leaving you to ponder the paradoxical wonders of Schrodinger's Oppenheimer. It's a hilariously explosive collision of culinary and physical sensations, a true testament to the peculiar twists and turns of existence. Only those with a knack for cosmic mishaps can fully appreciate the quantum flavors and toe-tapping oddities of this deliciously absurd phenomenon.

In other words, when she bites yo dick and it makes ya feel good.
I was in the kitchen with my slime baking edibles when I accidentally pulled Schrodinger's Oppenheimer.
We was so high we forgot to turn off the gas on the stove!

The Oppenheimer

When a mentally unstable leftist woman makes you read The Bhagavad Gita, as she inserts you into her.

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!
