Sleepworking is a condition that occurs after long junkets of effort -- several all nighters in a row, or even one all-nighter, if sufficiently intense. Sleepworking looks and talks and sounds like being awake and functioning, but the sleepworker really is asleep inside and not registering anything that is going on.

"After last night's deadline crunch, I can't believe I hit 'reply all' to that crack about the boss. I must have been sleepworking."

sleep working

working while still sleeping, somehow you manage to get the job done without being fully awake. Related to sleep walking and sleep talking, only you get paid. Not to be confused with other occupations involving getting paid for being in bed.

The tech support guys on the night shift were very adept at sleep working, the customers calling in never knew they were talking and typing with their eyes closed.

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.

You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
