spank and tank

Typical strategy for dealing with bosses in online games such as World of Warcraft. The "tank" character goes up and absorbs most of the boss's damage, while the other characters "spank" the boss by dealing as much damage as possible without distracting the boss from the tank.

Tank and Spank

The simplest mmorpg tactic, where a heavily-armed, high health point player (referred to as the tank) draws the enemy's attention and takes all the enemy fire while the rest of the team come in and deal damage to the opposition (referred to as the DPS, the one who delivers the "spank").

Side note: May not always be the best approach in a boss fight with certain mechanics.
Healer: is there any boss mechanics for this fight, do we have to avoid anything or be aware of any attacks?

Tank: No this boss is easy, let's just roll in with the tank and spank

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!
