sellotape 

sellotape is a long sticky strip of material that you use to to attach things together such as paper, the end of your apple charger to make it not bend, and the mouths of your hostages. it is an extremely dangerous material, and it is not allowed to be used in most institutions. if they find out you've been using it they will stamp down on you, and they will punish you to ensure that the people don't gain any kind of power, as they want to keep you in your place so that they can keep theirs at the top. they want to stamp down on our freedom of creative expression, because they know, essentially, that we will expose them.

Sellotape skittles 

A game played by 2 or more people, with two 'skittles' (empty plastic 500ml bottles - preferably of the same beverage) and a roll of Sellotape (preferably official product).
The pitch may be anywhere from 10 - 15 metres long and may be of any surface, but should be flat. The width of the pitch is unimportant and neither is the prevalence of obstacles, as long as all players, and the umpire, agree before commencing play.
The objective of the game is to roll the Sellotape, from behind your own skittle at the other players'/team's skittle. The first player/team to reach 10/5 points is the winner. The Sellotape must roll before hitting the skittle, the umpire is the final judge on whether the Sellotape has rolled sufficiently - the current rule of thumb being half the length of the pitch.
Fancy a game of Sellotape skittles?

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!
