Piers Anthony Disease

A literature phenomenon in which the first book of a series does so well, and may even be considered a classic, that subsequent books in the series become staggeringly formulaic, to the point where the only difference between it and the last one are maybe location, names of characters, and point in time the story takes place in.

Named for Piers Anthony, author of the Xanth series, one of the most notable instances of this phenomenon.

"I really liked Frank Herbert's "Dune". It was honestly a well written story, its just that his other books got quite... similar afterwards. Same general plot, message, almost everything but the names."

"Ah, so he contracted Piers Anthony Disease?"

"I'm afraid so..."

Piers-Morganistic

An obnoxious, smug, self-superior and pseudo-intellectual manner of speaking, presenting/providing information, presenting oneself in a discussion or debate that is unhelpful, annoying and often operating on false information with the glib and narcissistic presupposition that one is already correct.

Discovered in the morally questionable journalism, methods of discussion/debate, pedantic and childish mentality of British journalist/talk show-host Piers Morgan

"You can't just Piers-Morganistically declare that to be the case without facts or evidence."

"The way that guy talks is so Piers-Morganistic, it's unbearable."

"Harassing a woman in her hospital bed to get a scoop for a newspaper is rather Piers-Morganistic.

pier-louis

Pier-Louis is a strong minded, loyal and intelligent person. Two very strong names but together make him unique and mysterious. He has a huge love for his family, a strong bound with his friends and a leader at work.

You can tell he’s a leader at work. He must be a Pier-Louis.
