Gus-lighting

Being gaslit by a man named Gus. Being lied to in a way that makes you question your own reality or skills as a systems administrator.

Gus: “You did this yesterday, don’t you remember”
You: “Stop Gus-lighting me, bro!”

The lights were too bright

When someone reaches for greatness with the intention of performing, but the moment becomes too big and they fold under the pressure. Used when someone can’t handle the spotlight once all the attention is on them.

“They called him the next superstar, but when the championship came, the lights were too bright.”

The Lighting Mcqueen Fallacy

A logical fallacy where someone believes their own superiority overrides facts because they think they're above everyone else, hence the fallacy name where Lightning was a self-centered arrogant rookie

King: "Lightning, you need to actually get skill in order to win and hire an excellent crew"
Lightning: "Compelling argument, Mr. the king, however, I am a hot shot rookie who is faster and better than you in every single way, therefore, your argument is invalid"
King: "What you just said is an example of The Lighting Mcqueen Fallacy. There, I made a fallacy about you"

Oklahoma Lightning Rod

The act of walking past your buddy after he’s just gotten out of the shower, full frontal nude, whilst welling up a gnarly turd cutter- and farting on it.

Bro I got Sebby so good, got him with the old Oklahoma Lightning Rod when he hopped out of the shower

Trash Lighting

Trying to gaslight publicly on a large scale to take credit for accomplishments of others or fake diseases or other sob stories. Usually 'Trash Lighting' is used to get laid, make money through go-fundme, or get out of a good old fashion ass beating.

That Drew dude that I gave $300 to his go-fundme for cancer bills said he will pay me back when he gets his royalty payment from producing Kendrick Lamar's new album. Is he TRASH LIGHTING me?

Indestructible Lightswitch

Oops! Sorry Daniel Radcliffe. I see now how I'm the handstand guy and not the you.

Hym "Really. That's what it's like. You are trying to use trickery, pretending, and emotional appeals on an indestructible lightswitch... That ISN'T... EVER... GOING TO WORK. I... Am not an indestructible lightswitch... I am just a guy... Talking to a retard... Telling you that if you want the light to be ON... You have to flip the switch up, stupid."

label-lighting

Toxic trait: Giving things titles that probably don't need a title as a way to describe people's terrible behaviours rather than just labeling these people as cunts.

Stop label-lighting me!
