Silverman 

A male, usually timid and without a mind of his own. Who consistently has to deal with an abusive girlfriend or wife. This person usually has no idea that they are being abused and/or does not consider her behaviour to be abuse. Often times making excuses for her and doing whatever she commands. The girlfriend of a Silverman is often times controlling and restrictive in nearly all aspects of his life; especially when it comes to his friends. It is the duty of all good friends to make sure this kind of relationship ends permanently or doesn't begin at all, or else this cancerous girlfriend could ruin your friendship.

The word "Silverman" refers to the character Darren Silverman, played by Jason Biggs, in the movie Saving Silverman.
"Dude, Bini's turned Dom into a Silverman, she's such a fucking bitch. She won't even let him hang out with us."

"There goes Bini, bragging about the guys who want to fuck her and talking bad about Dom again...and he's okay with it. She's turned him into such a Silverman"

"I heard Dom finally broke up with Bini, good....He was such a Silverman in that relationship."

"Dom's been drinking a lot more lately. I heard Bini put him on the couch too. I don't ever want to be a Silverman like that guy."

"Friends don't let friends become a Silverman."

Silverman Effect

The Silverman effect is an anomoly in which people start to see everything as offensive to them in some way, much like Sarah Silverman mistaking simple construction symbols for swastikas.
I saw they cast a white girl to play an Egyptian in a movie and forgot there are white people born in Africa, too. The Silverman effect is strong with me, right now!

Jonathan Silverman exit 

To be fired because you sent a email to a coworker about wanting to take a shit on someone's chest.

Modernized, but coined by the actor who told a director he would shit on him given a chance.
Steve knew he would have a tough time finding a job after last week's Jonathan Silverman exit.
