zeitgeist

Fancy german term frequently missused by people to make themeselves sound smarter than they are...

Opinions, that deviate from the ruling zeitgeist, always aggravate the crowd. - Germaine de Staël

The product of paper and printed ink, that we commonly call the book, is one of the great visible mediators between spirit and time, and, reflecting zeitgeist, lasts as long as ore and stone. - Johann Georg Hamann

zeitgeist

A movie loved by conspirators, who claims 9/11 was an inside job, the moonlanding never happened, Elvis lives and USA are the root of all evil.

Widely panned by critics, and laughed at by all serious scientist or expert, this movie is still popular, due to the fact than people are suckers for factually inaccuracy, presented as truth.

Friend: Jesus never existed, and USA are evil! Zeitgeist: The Movie proves it!

Me: ...you really believe that? Well, then this is for your own good. *SMACK!*

zeitgeisted

The condition of having had some special unique interest or proclivity, and then discovering that it has just been featured in media or elsewhere; the ensuing realization that in fact your interest was not unique, but in fact others just like you were pursuing it as well; the revelation that the interest you thought was unique was merely a reflection of the spirit of the time.

"Did you hear that Garrett got zeitgeisted again? He just launched that blog about vintage (somethings) a month ago, and there was a pictorial about the exact same thing in the new Wired Magazine!"

"Poor guy."
