Rule of Oprah

A rule that simply states that if the opportunity to consensually fornicate with a woman of utmost clout (e.g., Oprah) comes along, it is your civic duty to do so.

Nate: Dude…Janet Reno…Would ya?

Corey: Well, I guess I kinda have to since she’s technically Rule of Oprah.

Oprah Syndrome

When a fat, ugly woman with a lot of money still looks like Oprah Winfrey. It doesn't matter how many face lifts or fancy clothes or jewelery she wears, she still looks like the maid or the cook.

That woman suffers from the Oprah Syndrome, she has a lot of money but she still looks like the fat smelly maid.

Oprah Winfrey

The Deepak Chopra of talk show hosts. A god to soccer moms everywhere, and an egregious blight on everyone else. While her work ethic and her ability to overcome the horrid obstacles of her early life should be admired, she uses her platform as one of the most influential women on the planet to peddle woo, promote empty, platitudinous feel-good pop psychology horseshit, and give a prominent platform for the often-harmful advice of hacks and charlatans (see Dr. Phil, "psychologist", Dr. Oz, energy-healing quack, Jenny McCarthy, anti-vaccine kook, and, again, Deepak Chopra, for prominent examples). Every time she's on air, she has the opportunity to provide the truth and give people useful information to live by, but instead, kowtows to quackery, clapping like a trained seal in the process. As such, her influence does a disservice to the critical thinking skills of the general public, and should be considered nothing but a pus-filled carbuncle - nay - a malignant cancer on the asshole of Reason by any person who values their critical faculties. Fuck Oprah, and everything that snake oil-peddling, self-important cow stands for!

Bob: Did you watch Oprah Winfrey yesterday?
Greg: No, why?
Bob: She had a psychic come on the show to discuss her new book about crystal healing being used to cure cancer, and why you don't needn't consult a medical professional for treatment any longer. And the stupid, mindless pack of sycophantic soccer moms gobbled it up like it was the fucking Gospel!
Greg: *facepalm* This is why we can't have nice things!

Oprah Effect

The almost viral phenomenon that occurs when Oprah endorses a cause or person or product. When Oprah announces her approval of something, its popularity will almost surely escalate to the point of frenzy.
First introduced by the cable news networks' 2008 Presidential election campaign coverage.

Woman # 1: "Did you hear that Oprah's backing Barack Obama for president in '08?"
Woman #2: "I'm voting for him. He's got the Oprah Effect."

Man # 1: "Now, how in the hell did Dr. Phil get his own show?"
Man # 2: "Must be the Oprah Effect, man."
