When someone tries to sound overly fancy with their vocabulary, and does not want to use the proper word, "suffix", they may use this term d'art. In this case, the person is creating a variation to "suffix" by using the prefix "post-" (as in "post-war" for "after the war", or "post malone" for "after the era of Karl Malone"
"As the third generation with his name, Greg G wanted to add a suffix such as 'the third/III' to his name. To try to impress the judge, he suggested that a 'postfix' should be added to his name, much to the chagrin of the courtroom"

postfix spoiler alert

An acknowledgment of a spoiler very much like a spoiler alert except that it's provided after rather than before the spoiler in question. See, for example, the Dinosaur Comics strip for April 15, 2011.

By extension, any would-be warning preceded by the thing it's supposed to warn against.
"So then Snape kills Dumbledore. That's a particularly infamous spoiler." "Nice postfix spoiler alert, you numskull." / A week after the drop deadline, the registrar told me I was taking the wrong classes and wouldn't be able to graduate till next semester. Talk about a postfix spoiler alert! Does he think I'm Merlin or something?

Known to throw rude, nasty shitfits in the name of sweetness and compassion, and be "snarky" and ironic in the interests of promoting sincerity.
That temper tantrum by postvixen sure showed me. I'm going to be a paragon of level-headed politeness from now on.

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
