Tommy Lee was gas lighting Elizabeth Taylor until she lost her mind. Mr. Lee should be shot.
Courtney Love leveled Kurt Cobain, not just with the multiple affairs, but by gently undermining his self respect with a little known procedure called gas lighting. He didn't even know he was a pound overweight until he was 20 pounds overweight. Poor guy.
It is a sign of the slow progress of culture that something as insidious as gas lighting can fail to be widely known, except in a slang dictionary definition, nearly three quarters of a century later than the movie by the same name.

We both agreed that we weren’t readyt for anything too sexual yet. So we decided to do some light petting instead.
