To be "Phenomenal" at something, or to be a person of certain great qualities that just can't be described. Not necessarily a prodigy, but certainly special. They posses a certain "it factor" about themselves, something that goes beyond the exterior but comes from their core and radiates out.
True phenoms exude qualities such as ambition, caring, respect, honor, integrity, and all around character. They are the people you look at and although others may not see it, you know that they are going to be big one day.
A person who says they are a "Phenom" or have "Phenom" abilities are not. This includes saying your middle name is Phenom on Myspace or Facebook. You cannot be a self-proclaimed Phenom, that would be a paradox.

Get the Phenom mug.When something simple and good goes horrendously or stupefyingly bad. Usually pertains to MMO games. Origination of this word is derived from the browser-based MMORTS game 'Lord of Ultima'. Developed by Phenomic, an EA studio. The game had attracted many players with it's straightforward and addictive gameplay, but through numerous patches and "improvements", Phenomic has ruined it by dramatically changing gameplay mechanics, or not completely testing functionality in updates, thus chasing away countless players and destroying months-long experiences for many others.
The new MMO game intrigued players during beta and so word of mouth spread, attracting many new players. But then as updates were released, most players /quit with a parting message of "this game is phenomically bad".

Get the Filthy Frank Phenomenon mug.Philosophical method/discipline, typically associated with 20th century Psychology (Husserl) and Existential Philosophy (Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty).
One of the aims of Phenomenology is to attempt to describe something (an object, an experience) directly, seperately from its preconceived origins or causal explanations.
Most of our experiences are clouded by preconceptions. By identifying these preconceptions, it was thought that Phenomenology could help us distinguish between what is real and what is appearance.

When we think of 'Time' , we think of clocks, deadlines...etc. However, a child who has not yet formed these preconceptions thinks of 'Time' as an eternal 'now'. The child's perception is phenomenological, it is unclouded by preconceptions.
