Personal Defence Weapon
A class of compact firearms, essentially hybrids between Assault Rifles and Sub-Machine Guns. Designed to be both small and light so they can be carried by Non-combatant Personnel, but still have the capability to penetrate modern ballistic body armour. This is usually achieved by utilising special cartridges, such as the 5.7x28mm FN or the 4.6x30mm HK. Very effective in Close Quarter Combat, this class of firearms has been adopted by several Special Forces, Law Enforcement Agencies and Counter-Terrorist Units.
Notable examples include the FN P90, the HK MP7, the PDW Version of the FN SCAR and the AAC Honey Badger.

...so then these Paratroopers went for our Supply Personnel, assuming that they were easy bait. But luckily, they were equipped with Personal Defence Weapons and managed to hold them back until combatant units were on place.

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.

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!
