Spectrostromic

The Spectrostromic Theory is the meaning of how all physical and scientifically tested ideas like the theory of Space and Time aswell as the idea of Gravity and Aging, are defied as its own physical theory.
Another universe can have another Spectrostromic Theory than our own. And possibly have physical traits that are essentially impossible to exist in our Spectrostromic defied universe.

(EX: A different universe can have a different Spectrostromic Theory and basically defy space and time itself causing aging to stop, aswell as allowing us the possibility of essentially giving us inhuman physical powers aswell as ideas.)

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) 

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, most commonly known as NMR spectroscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), is a spectroscopic technique to observe local magnetic fields around atomic nuclei. The sample is placed in a magnetic field and the NMR signal is produced by excitation of the nuclei sample with radio waves into nuclear magnetic resonance, which is detected with sensitive radio receivers. The intramolecular magnetic field around an atom in a molecule changes the resonance frequency, thus giving access to details of the electronic structure of a molecule and its individual functional groups. As the fields are unique or highly characteristic to individual compounds, in modern organic chemistry practice, NMR spectroscopy is the definitive method to identify monomolecular organic compounds.
Person 1: Do you think our laboratory needs an NMR-spectrometer?

Person 2: I've heard they're unbelievably expensive, but Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is an essential analytical procedure for sure .

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!
