bitch set me up
Originally uttered by former DC mayor and current DC councilmember Marion Barry when caught by the FBI in a hotel room with crack and a prostitute in 1990. (He was still elected.) Now a catchphrase used occasionally by DC locals to express discontent with a situation, or to remind people that we had the original crack mayor - 20+ years before Toronto.
Marion Barry (1990): "Bitch set me up... shouldn't have come here... goddamn bitch."
DC local (now): "Red line is singletracking again? Kill! The bitch set me up..."

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.
