People's Main Event

A fight on a fight card that garners significant attention from the general fight community because its back story imbues it with a value that generally overshadows the co-main and main event. This fight is usually slotted away from the co-main and main event slots but does not necessarily mean it is not the co-main or main event. It is the fight people want to see regardless of what else is on the card.

This phrase originates from The MMA Hour, first coined by journalist Ariel Helwani
Ariel Helwani: "Volkanovski vs Ortega is going to be insane, but let's be honest, the Nick Diaz vs. Robby Lawler rematch is the People's Main Event"

butt-rub event

A large, crowded event during which it is impossible to avoid rubbing your buttocks against another person's body. This is due to the large number of people and lack of personal space.
Concerts, festivals/carnivals, crowded nightclubs, raves, circuit parties and busy shopping days are all considered butt-rub events.

Shoe event horizon

The Shoe Event Horizon is an economic theory that draws a correlation between the level of economic (and emotional) depression of a society and the number of shoe shops the society has.

The theory is summarized as such: as a society sinks into depression, the people of the society need to cheer themselves up by buying themselves gifts. This is usually done through the purchase of shoes. As more money is spent on shoes, more shoe shops are built, and the quality of the shoes begins to diminish. This makes people buy more shoes.

The above turns into a vicious cycle, the end result being that other industries begin to falter.

Eventually the titular Shoe Event Horizon is reached, where the only type of store economically viable to build is a shoe shop. At this point, society ceases to function, and the economy collapses, sending a world into ruin.
The population of the planet Brontitall was forced to evolve into bird-like creatures in order to survive the result of the shoe event horizon.
