Quid pro crow

A form of benevolent sexism in which a boss offers sex to an employee in exchange for work-related benefits, such as a pay raise or promotion, but instead places 50 or more crows in the employee’s office the next day.

Person 1: “Did you hear that ‘Beckie’ in HR found 50 crows in her office on Monday morning?”
Person 2: “Oh no that’s terrible!”
Person 1: “Absolutely! I think ‘Mark’ offered her sex in exchange for a raise.”
Person 2: “Oh my! He tricked her with quid pro crow!”

The Angrier the Crow...

Truncation of the folksy saying: The Angrier the Crow, the Sharper the Beak.

Used when an action has a consequence that is obvious.

"Napoleon has fallen, he tried to invade Russia in the winter"
"Well the angrier the crow..."

and the crowd goes mild

When someone’s music is so mid, it’s like “and the crowd goes home” but the music is mid

“Let’s listen to some Taylor Swift.”
“And the crowd goes mild!”

Psychology of the Crowds in the 21st Century

The study of how physically assembled groups behave in an era when crowds are simultaneously physical and digital—protesters with phones streaming to millions, concert-goers creating TikTok moments, flash mobs organized online and executed in person. 21st-century crowd psychology must account for the fact that every crowd is now a broadcast, every participant a potential journalist, every moment potentially viral. This transforms crowd behavior: people perform for remote audiences, organizers coordinate through encrypted apps, and authorities face scrutiny from millions watching live. The psychology is more complex, more reflexive, more mediated than ever. A crowd today isn't just a crowd; it's a story being written in real time, by everyone in it and everyone watching.

Psychology of the Crowds in the 21st Century *Example: "The protest was a textbook case of 21st-century crowd psychology—thousands in the streets, millions watching online, chants designed for both immediate impact and viral spread. The crowd knew it was being watched and performed accordingly. The authorities knew they were being watched and hesitated. The psychology wasn't just about the people present; it was about everyone who would see the footage later."*

Psychology of the Crowds of the Third Millennium

The study of how physically assembled groups will behave in a future of augmented reality, brain-computer interfaces, and perhaps even telepathic connection. Crowds of the third millennium may not need to speak—they might share thoughts directly, experience collective emotions instantaneously, coordinate without visible signals. The psychology will be more intense, more immersive, more dangerous. A crowd that shares thoughts is a crowd that can't hide dissent; a crowd that feels together is a crowd that can be manipulated at neurological levels. The psychology of the crowds of the third millennium raises questions about individuality, autonomy, and the very meaning of being a person in a world where boundaries between selves can dissolve at will.

Psychology of the Crowds of the Third Millennium Example: "The VR concert was a glimpse of third-millennium crowd psychology—thousands of avatars, millions of remote viewers, all experiencing the same music in personalized ways. The crowd wasn't in one place, but it felt like a crowd. When the artist spoke, everyone heard in their own language. When the beat dropped, everyone felt it simultaneously. The psychology was new, but the emotions were ancient: connection, belonging, joy."
