Most of the time you can either hear them or smell them before you see them. It's rare to see them in daylight. They are nocturnal creatures. They live in the woods or in abandoned sheds and are afraid of water so they never shower or bathe. They make a cat like mumbling meow sound like they are trying to talk but it doesn't make sense. You can must often spot them around or in dumpsters. Exercise caution. Don't try to communicate with them or feed them. They're usually covered in puss filled sores and known to transmit diseases or parasites if you come in contact with one.

The name catawompus is an old Indian term derived from the cat like sounds they make (cata'), being a female or young woman (wom') and covered in puss filled sores (pus). They are believed to have originated from York county SC.

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!
