fiction lag

The temporary change in personality that occurs after being deeply involved with a movie, book, game, or some other work of fiction.

Can also be expanded to nonfiction ("documentary lag" or some other variant), but is less common because those works are typically experienced through the frame of the reader/player/watcher's default personality.
CHRIS: Don't think. Don't hesitate. Just say it.

ASHLEY: Why are you talking like that?

CHRIS: What?

ASHLEY: You sound like a movie trailer. Is this because you just finished watching Fight Club?

CHRIS: Uhh... yeah I guess I'm a little fiction lagged.

directioner

A person, usually a teenage girl who is obsessed with the British boy band, One Direction. They often go on Tumblr for hours a day reposting .gifs about the band and stick true to them no matter what. They're super biased toward One Direction.

They will go after you if you insult their band, and thus you are labeled a "Directionator", a fan who’s just discovered the band. If you can’t name all the band members or spell their names correctly, you’re a Directionator. If you think that Louis really likes women who like carrots, or if you somehow think that Liam likes spoons, then you are a Directionator.
Typical Directioner:

How many likes? OMG IT'S A NEW PIC OF ZAYN! OMG I'm totally gonna reshare this photo of Liam on Tumblr OMG I'm gonna curl my hair because Harry's hair is curly.

*types* OMG 1D ashjfdhjfvashjkdfbhjsdavkjhdsvjhfslhfoyukehjsavdhjghaldskjfsgahfjslfhs;aflasjd;lfaeusi

Directioner

Fans of the boyband One Direction. Love the five boys to pieces and can sometimes go to extreme lengths to see them, meet them, or even talk to them. We will always be there and never leave them no matter what happens. They mean the world to us and have saved a lot of our lives. We love each of the boys equally and some of us really hate the term Directionator. The boys are our Idols and we can be borderline obbsessed or even just a normal person.
Girl 1: Hi, I'm (Y/N).
Niall: Hi
Louis: Hey love
Liam: Nice to meet you.
Harry: *cheeky smile*
Zayn (Zain): Hello love.
Girl 1: Its great to meet you. We love you so much and are always there. You all belong.
Boys: Thanks for being such a dedicated directioner

science fiction

Science Fiction is an adventure, mystery, drama (heck, any genere) that has some basis in a scientific fact or wild theory (faster that light space travel is a great example). The level of research, or reality towards the science determines what kind of science fiction it is. For example, Star Wars uses a few facts (or crazy theories if you prefer), such as the idea of FTL travel through "hyperspace"; but since it's all pretty improbable, star wars type stuff is considered "space opera". Just unplug your analytical mind and watch the pretty lightsabers.

If the science is sound and well-researched, like some of Ben Bova's (one example, there are many other authors) writing, than it's considered "hard" science fiction and calls on a broad knowledge base of popular science. Knowing a little bit about the physics or chemistry (or history sometimes) helps you appreciate and enjoy this kind of science fiction.
Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlefield Earth (the book) = "light" science fiction, space opera

Robert Heinlein's future history (Methuselah's Children), Ben Bova's Jupiter, or Asteroid Wars, Frank Herbert's Dune (a little fantastical, but the ecological background is neat)
= "hard" sci-fi
