Based on the movie "Groundhog Day" starring Bill Murray. It is the idea that every action that one makes; the rewards and consequences of those actions are not followed through the next day. If someone were to make a big choice, commit a crime, offend someone, make a mistake, or meet someone through out a period of a regular 24 hr. day, those rewards and consequences for all of those actions are not carried through the next day. It is all forgotten. In other words, it's like yesterday never happened. Therefore this pattern can keep on repeating for an unknown amount of time.
Last night, Larry inadvertently said an offensive racial comment that offended many people. However, the very next day Larry experenced a Groundhog Day Effect. All was forgotten and everyone he offended seemed to have forgotten the incident. Therefore, Larry is in the same position as he was before he made the comment.

A lightweight sounding but serious mental illness that consumes some people to the point of living for that single day of the year when Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his hidden place; what’s worse is the full picture of obsessive preparation often leading to ruinous financial consequences and severe social isolation that sometimes accompanies this devastating disorder.
Somehow I never suspected that my brother was suffering from Groundhog Day Disorder, but when we found out, it all came together and answered so many previously unanswered questions.

The phenomenon of having to come out as transgender to the same person/people repeatedly because they assumed or hoped that your gender identity was a "phase." Refers less to the holiday and more to the 1993 Bill Murray comedy film in which the main character experiences the same day over and over.

"My visit home turned into Bisexual Groundhog Day. My mom acted shocked when I told her I'm going to Pride next week, so I had to come out to her as bisexual AGAIN."

Using insight and information about your target's life, interests, and preferences that you obtained covertly or from indirect sources in order to abet your romantic advances.
Origin: 1993 comedy in which Phil (Bill Murray) uses said tactics to rizz up Nancy (Marita Geraghty). Of course in this instance he uses the nonlinear temporal circumstances to his advantage.
