An event that requires an exception to the rules. Thought to always be possible, no matter how encompassing the rules are. Coined by @Yishan (Twitter) who credited Erik Martin, one of Reddit's first community managers, with the concept.
We have become so accustomed to the notion of “free speech, except” that we do not realize that free speech is ALWAYS limited, and that every limit arose from an Omega Event. - Yishan

Get the NW Public Eventsmug. Noun. Anything that comes in the form of a phonr call or text. The receiver that is made aware of the significant event does not make any verbal reaction. Rather, upon receiveing the phone call/text, their face becomes nervous and is followed by a series of 2 to 7 twitches of the left eye. The person then proceeds to get their ass off the couch and takes action.
(text of significant event): Dude, sum grandpa jus jacked ur Camaro from outta ur driveway.
recipient: (Twitches, stutters, and bolts out the front door)

Get the significant eventmug. The phenomena where fighters in the main event for a LIVE event on Netflix don’t go 100% because they are making so much money either way that they simply do not care if they win or lose anymore. They’re toned down. It’s not as intense as it should be. They don’t want to get hurt. They just want their fatty paycheck from Netflix.
1: “Why didn’t Jake Paul just kill Mike Tyson then?”
2: “Netflix main event syndrome got to him. He didn’t care enough after all the money he was guaranteed to get either way from this fight.”
1: “Come on! Hit each other! What are you doing?”
2: “You expected a good fight? Netflix main event syndrome takes all that away! They just want their Netflix money.”

The shark attack at the beach caused less people to go to the beach for weeks, because people didn’t want to risk getting attacked. It was a repelling event.
