Tangentacide
You are having a nice evening down the pub and you are explaining to the assembled crowd of friends something exciting or retelling an old story and you wander off on a massive tangent which at the end has either offended, confused, alienated or stunned your friends into a silence as they contemplate your mental health. Or one of your friends does that.
That is Tangentacide. Often followed by people sneaking away from the table, needing the toilet or finding out their friends are in dire trouble and they must leave.

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.

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!
