The name for the phenomenon in which if you were to bring a particular item with you somewhere, you won't end up needing it, but should you not bring it, you will need it.
"If I bring my umbrella, it probably won't rain. If I don't, it most certainly will. I guess its just the Talisman Effect at work."

Get the The Talisman Effect mug.Guy 1: "Mind doing me a favor?"
Guy 2: "I REFLOOF!"
(Guy 1 turns around, only to see Guy 2 is now very fluffy.)

Get the Refloof mug.A phenomenon in which a subject thinks of a particular entity or concept, imagines they exist, but they have no idea they actually do exist until it stands right before them.
Jarrek was definitely experiencing the Known Unseen when he had the idea for a drink called Bawls, but he didn't know that it had already been done.

Get the Known Unseen mug.The extremely pretentious and poorly-executed cousin of Grimdark, where everyone lives morosely ever after and the creator jerks themselves off with the idea that they made Powerful Art(TM). If a story makes you regret the energy you invested in it, it's likely a Grimgrey-type story, and Grimgrey stories are always failures in that regard.
Grimdark: "Bring all the guns and we might just survive!"
Grimgrey: "They brought all the guns, but they didn't survive. Everybody died and those who didn't were traumatized messes for the rest of their miserable lives. No one was ever happy ever again, now go cry in a corner about existence while I, the author, give myself prostate orgasms with how far my head is up my own ass."

Get the Grimgrey mug.A type of character who unlike their cousin the Edgelord, actually is a darker character done right. i.e., their entire personality isn't described solely by the word 'edgy'. A Runelord probably wouldn't be caught dead with a katana in their hands, but definitely has at least one sword in their possession, and it's definitely a battle-ready one that they know ho to use, and not some welded-tang piece of dull stainless steel.
Not to be confused with an overly edgy character done ironically.

Unlike the Edgelord, the Runelord does not garb himself exclusively in devil wings and black leather. He is more typically seen with practical earthtone greys, greens and browns.

Get the Runelord mug.Pronounced "zuks". Adjective. An expression of varying denotation, from mild annoyance to acknowledgement of an action that will potentially embarrass the speaker of the word, especially if they're into that sort of thing.

Get the Xux mug.That little wooden area in a liquor case (usually in a grocery store like Safeway) between the transparent glass panels that it is nigh impossible to see or notice the bottles behind, causing the clerk to search the area around it like a madman while the bottle the customer wants is just out of immediate sight. Thankfully, most of the more commonly sought-after bottles are not there. Unless they want Bailey's Irish cream in half-gallons. That shit is always in that space.
Customer: Can I get a half-gallon of Bailey's?
Clerk: Of course, let me grab it.
(Clerk searches the case for about a minute)
Clerk (under breath): Gods dammit, its in the casevoid.
