During a TV show or book, when a character you've grown to love is inexplicably killed in the third act, usually as a quick way of evoking a great deal of emotion from the audience. Named for Joss Whedon, who literally has never produced anything in which this hasn't happened.

Penny is 'Whedoned' at the end of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
Wash is 'Whedoned' at the end of Serenity
Buffy is 'Whedoned' in the season 5 finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

This literally goes on and on and on

Whedonitis

A tendency to parrot the speech patterns of various Joss Whedon characters and incorporate the slang from various Whedonverses (Buffy. Firefly, Angel, etc) into every day speech.

Every time I use the word "shiny" people look at me strangely--as though they never spoken to someone suffering from Whedonitis.

James Weldon

Someone who still has their virginity.
Someone who has never had sex.
It can be used to replace the word “virgin”

Haha bro you are such a James Weldon.

I can’t believe you’re 20 and still a James Weldon

Joss Whedon

The one true b!x. The man. The myth. The curiously strong swimmer. Created Buffy, Angel, and Firefly, plus a ton of comics. The lord and master of all true TV geeks.

"I saw Joss Whedon at ComicCon yesterday, and spontaneously orgasmed."
