The Flanders Effect

When people hate you because you are truly a better person then they are. People hate you for being kind, more attractive, smarter or any similar virtuous quality.
Stupid Flanders is half my weight and twice my age!” — Homer Simpson

Ex: “Attorney Brandt S. is such a horrible person and, was experiencing The Flanders Effect so badly, that he couldn’t even bring himself to speak to his kind, beautiful, intelligent client named Meg B.”

fangela

A mythical fog that when conjured grants you the power of darkness. No one knows how it can be conjured but rumor has it, Luke Temple might have some knowledge on the topic.
Dude I was at this party last night and Luke Temple conjured this crazy fog thing called a Fangela. It was intense.

Flandering

To attempt a conversation while unintentionally thoroughly confusing your listener. Approving and negating a topic in the same sentence. To open up a conversation on one topic and randomly change to another. The flanderer may be sober or intoxicated. Rapid successions of the words, "yea, yea, yea, no, no, no"
"Yo dude did you borrow my pen?"

"Yea yea yea, no no no"

"huh?"

"I did, but then I didn't"

"Quit fucking flandering, did you borrow it or not?"

flanger

A guitar effect that does not work like a wah pedal. It does, however, work as a continually variable delay pedal. The delay on a flanger is too short to hear as an echo and the rate of delay expands and contracts to set intervals during a set amount of time according to how the operator programs it.

The effect is called "flange" because before the advent of flanger pedals, sound engineers and musicians would press the inside of the thumb (the "flange") onto the tape reel to slow it down and speed it up to achieve the desired effect.
Forget the flanger in anything by Simple Plan; just listen to Thru the Eyes of Ruby by the Smashing Pumpkins!
