Spoiler Etiquette

The time at which it is deemed acceptable for a movie/TV show plot to be discussed in your group of friends without being worried about ruining it for others, because fans of the film/episode would have watched it as soon as they were able to.

Movies - 1 week. Fans of the film would be able to attend a screening within one week of the films release.

TV shows - 1 day. The true lovers of this show will live stream it or record/TiVo the episode and watch it as soon as possible.

"Dude, why are you so mad that I talked about who died in Game of Thrones this week? The show aired on Wednesday and it's Saturday. Spoiler etiquette has been upheld!"

Spoiler Paradox

When someone sends a picture that is vague enough that is only a spoiler if someone calls it one

“Hey delete that photo! It’s a spoiler!”
“Wait it is? I could have sworn we’ve this before”
“No it’s a spoiler for something later, trust me man this is the Spoiler paradox”

Spoiler

A spoiler is when someone tells you something you didn't know thats in a movie you haven’t seen, or an anime you haven’t seen, or a manga you haven’t seen.

Johny: “Hey dude, you read the manga for My Hero Academia yet?”
Alex: “No, don’t give me any spoilers! Haha!!”
Johny: “I promise.”
.........
Johny: “SO YEAH, HAWKS IS A TRAITOR AND ALL MIGHT LOSES HIS POWERS”
Alex: “GOD FUCKING DAMNIT JOHNY!”

White spoiler

On the same model as "white lie", a white spoiler is either :
- a spoiler of no (serious) consequences
- a spoiler dropped by accident

A: Did she just spoil the entire film?
B: No, don't worry. It's white spoiler, really. She only told you what happens in the first two minutes of the movie.

Or

A: Jimmy!! You just told me how the story ends!
B: Oops... Sorry. White spoiler. It just came out.

spoiler hibernation

(n) When one attempts to seclude themselves from the world in order to prevent the discovery of spoilers.

I did not see the last three episodes of that show. I'm going into "spoiler hibernation." Goodbye, world.
