Rivroned 

British slang

Originating from Jools Holland's 2003 New Year's Hootenanny show, when just as faithful, ol' Big Ben strikes the jubilant 12, Jools runs gleefully into the crowd, straight past the attempted embrace of Rivron. This leaves Rivron clutching only air. As the rest of the audience dance and sing auld lang syne, Rivron is left sporting a look of desparation as his only true friend leaves him high and dry at the start of another year presenting Holiday programmes from Skegness.

Therefore, to be Rivroned is to blanked or passed over in the harshest way possible. The lowest fate that can become an already desparate and desparing man/person.
"i saw my Gran by Spar on Sunday night, but as went over to say high, she saw me and immediately crossed over the road and ran into the Bingo hall."

"That's poor bro, guess you got well Rivroned!"

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!
