When fake or sensational videos are uploaded to YouTube and propelled by alarmist users into the mind of the general population, spawning urban myths, group-think, or panic.

Nine hysterical women 

An overwhelming and practical response from the fans to events in a TV series, book, film, etc.

The first nine hysterical women were Torchwood fans, who sent coffee and letters to the BBC protesting against the death of Ianto Jones. Over 900 people registered on one LiveJournal community alone.

Russell T Davies: "The 'controversy' over Ianto's death is just nine hysterical women."

Or:
If (character) dies this series, they'll have nine hysterical women on their hands.

HYSYS 

Software that has ruined the lives of chemical engineers since 1994.

A chemical engineering program, specifically for process engineering that is the least helpful or reliable piece of software ever written PERIOD. It acts with a random mind of its own. When HYSYS is having a bad day, prepare for endless frustration with a simple 'unsloved' or consistancy error, and when finally allowing your process to succeed, gives you different answers to the person next to you.At AUD$13000 a license, you'd expect something helpful, however with HYSYS, you've expected wrong

Eg 1) *Completes long difficult process*

HYSYS: NOT SOLVED.

Top Grade Engineering Student: Fuck you HYSYS, there is nothing wrong with anything you worthless piece of shit. None of the tutors can find anything wrong either *throws monitor out window and smashes in the rest of the PC*

Eg 2)

Me: "Hey bro did you get 10000moles/hour?"

My Bro: "Nah mate, 10200"

Me: "Fuck you HYSYS, our systems are the same"

Hispanicus Hystericus 

A disproportional emotional over-reaction to a crisis (or event) caused by an overstimulation of the limbic system that renders efficient function of the pre-frontal cortex extremely difficult.

Bystander #1: "Excuse me... why are they yelling and screaming like that? Are they OK?"

Bystander #2: "They have Hispanicus Hystericus. They'll be OK as soon as they calm down."

snow hysteria 

When the populace's fear of a snowstorm creates traffic jams and general panic way before any flakes even fall. Usually turns out to be a totally disproportionate response to a minor snowstorm.

Everyone is fleeing the office thanks to snow hysteria...but it isn't supposed to start snowing until 9 PM.

rape hysteria 

The result of Social Justice Warriors defining everything sexual men do as rape. It devalues the term, and can cause those who have actually suffered to be lumped in with the attention seeking ideologues. That and when a man is accused of rape, he is guilty be default with no chance to explain himself of prove innocence.

This rape hysteria is getting out of hand, I was called a rapist just for saying that girl looked hot
