seventh dwarf phenomenon

When you can't remember the last item in a group or list because you can only think of the ones you have already named, just as it's really tricky to remember the 7th dwarf's name, no matter which 6 you name first.

I know there are 7 -stan countries, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgistan, Tajikistan, and I can't think of the last one. It's the fucking seventh dwarf phenomenon.

Filthy Frank Phenomenon

The filthy frank phenomenon, is a phenomenon when a famous / infamous person, usually an idol (like Filthy Frank and Senzawa) suddenly abandons their existing career to pursue a new career (same or different) but with significant personality change.
They usually disconnect themselves completely from their old life and act as a separate entity to their past , though some events may trigger flashbacks of their past and sometimes brief actions that mimic their past behaviour may surface.

I miss the old Mark, he went through a Filthy Frank Phenomenon

Phenomenology

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.

Flipper Phenomenon

The feeling of disappointment an adult experiences upon revisiting a favorite childhood film or television show and realizing that it is, and always has been, an enormous pile of shit with no hope for redemption. Nevertheless, some aesthetically retarded Hollywood producer will inevitably try to remake it someday.

Guy 1: I just watched Red Dawn on TNT... remember that one from the 80's? Where the Supreme Soviet gets a wild hair up its ass and decides to invade Colorado for no apparent reason?

Guy 2: Oh yeah, I loved that movie as a kid! Did it hold up after all these years?

Guy 1: No way, dude... total Flipper Phenomenon!
