Yinglish
A combination of the words Yiddish and English. It refers to the use of words or expressions in American English that were originally of Yiddish origin. Yinglish is especially common among Jews from Eastern Europe and New Yorkers (because of the high Jewish population). The combination of the two words implies that the words being used are not quite those found in traditional Yiddish, but rather an English version of a traditional Yiddish words, phrase, or saying.
"he's got chutzpah"
In Yiddish, this meant "nerve...presumption-plus-arrogance" (according to the Joy of Yiddish by Leo Rosten) Implying, he's got a lot of nerve to say that crap to me.
In Yinglish, however, chutzpah has come to mean spunk or guts in a more positive sense. Might be used to describe someone who dared to be brave enough to do something.

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!
