Get the guinea, goomba, wop, dago mug.The term the 'Ghomeshi effect' was coined two years ago and has been used by several newspapers (The Vancouver Sun, The National Post, The Toronto Star, Now Toronto, The Walrus, Maclean's Magazine, and Salon) to describe the phenomenon that former CBC radio broadcaster Jian Ghomeshi's trial has inspired: namely that people are now speaking regularly and openly about sexual violence, particularly how it is handled in the justice system.
'The Ghomeshi Effect' is a verbatim dance-theatre piece that tackles sexual violence in Canada through an edited series of documented interviews, and uses dance to inform and interrogate the language used in the discussion of sexual violence. The world premiere of this play will take place in January 2017 in Ottawa, Canada.

The hashtags #BeenRapedNeverReported and #IbelieveLucy emerged as countless people shared powerful stories of their own unreported sexual assaults. The outpouring of support was dubbed “the Ghomeshi effect.” – The Vancouver Sun

Get the Ghomeshi mug.An Italian-American slang word used to describe an on-the-side girlfriend.
Strangely, this word originates from "comare," which is a word for the godmother of one's child. Alternatively, the godfather of one's child is a "compare."
These words are also used to describe a very close friend who isn't necessarily the godmother of your children.

Contemporary:
"He's not here with his wife tonight, but his goomara, instead."

Get the gloom merchant mug.Gloomping refers to traveling with a group of friends in the middle of the night in vehicles and following random strangers in their cars in order to scare them as a prank. No harm is ever intended whilst gloomping. Gloomping can take place in many forms. The key to a successful gloomping session is the setup. Some examples of a good setup might be:
Parking your car on the side of the road with the lights off and waiting for oncoming traffic. Once said traffic passes you, flip on the headlights and pull a U-Turn. They would have thought the car was off and parked, and the sudden U-Turn is bound to scare the shit out of them. Proceed to follow them, or let them go, your choice.
If gloomping with more than two vehicles, it is best to have something like a walkie talkie. You can pull the same setup as before, or a setup with slight variations. Have the first car pull the initial setup, and then have another car flip the lights on down the street when the car gets closer. This will scare the shit out of the driver to know they're outnumbered.
Gloomping is most effective when done in a dark, neighborhood setting.
Safety should always be key when gloomping. Never push the joke too far, and never put yourself or the person you are gloomping in danger. Never follow a driver into their driveway, or into an alley, you never know if they could step out of their car with a weapon. If a driver seems suspicious, back off. Don't do anything stupid, as gloomping is already stupid enough.
