When you lie or manipulate someone, and make them feel crazy for reacting how they react & make them believe their gut isn’t true. You make them feel like their over reacting once you get them angry, or You get them mad and then make them feel crazy for being mad. Basically When you Manipulate events and situations to make the victim feel crazy, and switch the blame.
I was mad at him and he gaslighted me and turned the situation around on me and made me feel like my feelings weren’t true And me being mad was wrong !

When you use words to manipulate and trick people into thinking what they know is true is incorrect. The gaslighter uses tactics to make the listener selfdoubt and feel in the wrong. Often used by repeat offenders.

When you fart into a lit match and it explodes
I had like 4 bowls of chili at Rick's Superbowl party. The resulting fart was brilliant, as was the size of the flame it produced. A proper halftime gaslighting.
