Pakaya
Papaya Flower Beetle
A code phrase for either Blaberus Discoid or Blaptica Dubia Roaches
These roach species are often raised by serious exotic animal keepers as a food source for their animals. The use of the code phrase is intended to avoid the use of the "red flag" word "ROACH" in an effort to keep women, neighbors, landlords and the general public (etc) from "freaking out" over their presence within the house. By eliminating and distancing the insects from the invasive pest that is the house cockroach, it is hoped that such insects will be greeted with a level of acceptance by the aforementioned groups or irrational humans.

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.
