The phenomenon where one hears about something for the first time then later notices it everywhere. Often followed by urgent mass polling of the public with the question " DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?!?", which is then followed by feelings if disbelief after realising one's own lack of knowlege in the face of the prevalence if said thing. Origin: ca. 2002; inspired after seeing "strong bad e-mail #55" from homestarrunner.com where Strong bad tries to get The Cheat to speak English. Also known as the baader-meinhof phenomenon, but 'douglification' was totally coined first #trustmeimadeitupfirst #mytermisbetteranyway
"How often do you ever hear someone say 'Douglas'?" *in the days that follow* "Shit man, I heard someone say 'Douglas', like, six times!"--"yep, douglification..totally douglification"
"What the hell is a jesus fish?"--"What!? Haven't you noticed those metal fish stuck to the back of cars?--"No?"--"Well soon you'll see them everywhere...douglification, man!"
Person 1: Hey man, how've you been! It's been years!
Person 2: I just got my 14th Ferrari, a new mansion and several other things which you don't have, and I don't really want to talk to you because I don't want to be seen with someone of such low stature.
Person 1: Wow. So your doucheification is finally complete.
A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.
Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.
In a powercouple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.
I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
