reader's remorse

When you read a series too fast and realize you'll have to wait several years for the next part.

"Why did I read all of George R. R. Martin's books at once? Why didn't I pace myself?"
"Ah my friend, you've got a case of Reader's Remorse."

internet default

Internet Default is when you have to assume everyone on the Internet is an idiot because of past experience.

This can lead to mistaking sarcasm for factual statements.

I don't sweat because I use deodorant.

That's not how deodorant works.

I was being sarcastic.

Sorry, I'm running Internet Default.

mental auto correct

When your brain fills in words that haven't actually been written.

So Samuel L. Jackson wrote "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, LADIES!!" but I read it as "HAPPY MOTHERFUCKERS DAY, LADIES!!"

That is Mental Auto Correct

The Martha Jones Effect

The misdirected rage generated by fans of a particular character when that character is killed off or replaced by someone else. Often the rage prevents them from giving a fair opinion of the new character. Originates from the BBC series Doctor Who, when fan favorite Rose Tyler was replaced with Martha Jones.

Example #1

“I hate Martha Jones so much!”

“Why?”

“Because she isn’t Rose Tyler!”

Example #2

“I hate Clara Oswin Oswald!”

“Why?”

“Because she isn’t Rory and Amy!”

“That’s the Martha Jones effect.”
