Nightly Hungers

Describes the experience of somebody who eats little to nothing during the day, but becomes ravenously hungry past 9 PM. Oftentimes the hunger is satisfied with an odd combination scavenged food from the fridge or just around the house so that it is not necessary to assemble an entire meal.

Example:

Brenda: "Why are you eating a steak sandwich and three tangerines.. it's 12:47 PM."
Milton: "I'm getting my nightly hungers, BRENDA."

The Hunger Games Effect

An effect often seen in books of the dystopian genre where the author inserts a slew of unfortunate, jarring events that leave the reader astonished and speechless, especially if a beloved character dies suddenly with little time to grieve.

In the book Mockingjay, from The Hunger Games Trilogy, the death of the character Finnick Odair shows The Hunger Games Effect in full force, where he dies so suddenly, it’s almost comical.
