Focusing Event

An event that draws the public and or government’s attention to or away from a particular issue
The impeachment trial of President Trump in December of 2019 drew attention to the issue of corruption in the U.S. government, while at the same time it drew attention away from a massive cyber attack that shut down all of New Orleans’s municipal government websites, which would have drawn the public’s attention to the danger of cyber-attacks on the government. It is an example of a focusing event.

Me: "It was a miscellaneous entertainment event."

Wickwick Event

A Wickwick Event is a sexual situation where a man is laying some pipe doggy-style, and while in the midst of sex he inserts his finger in the woman's starfish and then smears his finger across her upper lip, giving her a thin shit moustache. This is the Wickwick Event.
That bitch was so skanky, she didn't even mind that I gave her a Wickwick Event!

Netflix main event syndrome

When the main event fighters in a LIVE event on Netflix are toned down and boring. The fighters each make so much money either way win or lose so they just simply do not care enough to go 100% for their fight. It’s underwhelming. Boring. Not what it could be.
Q: “Damnnn, why didn’t Paul just kill Tyson then?
A: “Netflix main event syndrome got him. It hits hard when you make millions win or lose. He just doesn’t care enough. He’s already cashing out so good from it.”

“Come on! Hit each other! Do something!”
“You really expected a good figut? Netflix main event syndrome takes away all the excitement!”
