Sue: "Thanks! And your Louis Vuitton bag is to die for!"
Mary: "It would be great if everyone else was as à la mode and sophisticated as us. Well, enjoy your date with Mark tonight."
Sue: "Oh, I will. He has a certain je-ne-sais-quoi, you know?"

Definition: A strange occurrence where you have that one friend in the group that you never seem to be mad at, just slightly annoyed by their presence.
History: Discovered by a teenager high school student, surprisingly named Gabby, began to notice that all her friends were slightly annoyed in a humorous way by her appearance, but never distasteful towards her. She decided to begin an experiment to see if this theory was possible. The results came back from a good portion of her friends and it was ruled that The Gabby Phenomenon is true. In large friend groups it is highly plausible to have a friend with The Gabby Phenomenon, but you still love them anyway.

It was concluded that The Gabby Phenomenon was true as it was discovered that I am the annoying friend that no one hates.

The idea that cencorship laws and restricting freedom of speech forces people underground. Creating censorship and imbalance in conversation forces people underground to operate "in the cover of night", just like Batman, fighting for what he believes is right, in which he battles with his own ethics and morals. The law (US law or country equiv.) Doesn't necessarily agree with Batman but understands why he operates in that way. Social media platforms are creating more and more batmans (who are moving to darker platforms). Which is creating a large social discourse bubbles as people who follow news which only represent their own ideals are becoming increasingly imbalanced by filtering out opposing thoughts and behaviours.
Twitter has perpetuated the Batman Phenomenon by forcing people to operate in the cover of night to push their own ideologies outside of the rules of the existing framework.
