A spinster, or old maid, is an older, childless woman who has never been married. A "spinster" is not simply a "single" woman, but a woman who has not formed a human pair bond by the time she is approaching or has reached menopause and the end of her reproductive lifespan

I fear Sarah-Jane is going to end up a lonely spinster with only a cat by her side for company.

executive spinster

A successful, career-driven woman who refuses to settle for a man who (a) earns less than she does (b) her social circle/family would disprove of, and (c) someone she feels she can't look up to. Years later, she finds that by not compromising, she's in her 40s, single, and turns to artificial insemination as a last-ditch attempt at motherhood.

After vying to make partner at the firm for 16 years, Fran put off starting a family. By the time she made partner, she was 44, her looks had faded, and she was relegated to the role of executive spinster: take out Chinese, Grey's Anatomy, and 6am spin classes.

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.

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!
