Gentleman's Rest
A Gentleman's Rest was once used primarily in the Victorian era when clothing was thicker and heavier.
As a Gentleman went about his business, he would find that his more intimate areas would become sweaty.
To avoid chaffing and sweat rash, a Gentleman would go to the 'airing cupboard' (which was a small well ventilated room within the house) to make use of his 'Gentleman's Rest' which consisted of a long stick, atop of which was a decorated shelf.
In America they used to refer to this room as the 'Rest Room' and is where the modern day term originates.
The Gentleman would remove his little Gentleman from his garments and rest himself upon this shelf to air himself out and naturally dry away the sweat.
Common decorations for the 'shelf' include Mermaids, Ophelia's arm, a slender female leg and Persephone's pony-tail.
Though popular at the time, only a known handful have survived to this day and are highly collectible in the art world and is commonly confused in its appearance with that of the common walking stick.
The earliest known example dates back to 1874 and whilst it is in poor condition it is still a beautiful piece.

The women's restroom is over there
An annoying phrase used by homophobes to pick at guys with long hair in the restroom.
Usually results in the long-haired individual's silent oath to attack the next person who says it.
Exactly why these people see fit to do such a thing is beyond this writer; perhaps it is because women at the clubs and parties these individuals inhabit tend to pay a little more attention to a man who has flowing well-kept blond hair in opposition to a 5'2" mongoloid who is trying to look like Mark Mcgrath and failing miserably.

(Enter long-haired guy, stage left)
Spiked-up douchebag: Hark, young knave! The women's restroom is over there, thou faggot! Hur hur!
(soliloquy) Long-haired guy: Mark me this night, O fates, for the next man that makes that lame joke is getting kneed in the junk!
(exit Spiked-up douchebag as Long-haired guy begins to pee.)

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!
