A form of intimidation or psychological abuse, sometimes called Ambient Abuse where false information is presented to the victim, making them doubt their own memory, perception and quite often, their sanity. Often erroneously called "gaslighting". The classic example of gaslightning is to switch something around on someone that you know they're sure to notice, but then deny knowing anything about it, and to explain that they "must be imagining things" when they challenge these changes.
A more psychological definition of gaslightning is "an increasing frequency of systematically withholding factual information from, and/or providing false information to, the victim - having the gradual effect of making them anxious, confused, and less able to trust their own memory and perception.

In voice-to-skull la-la-land I saw Rebecca holding the gaslight. I was, like, "Do you mind if I borrow that for a second?" and as soon as I got my hands on that piece of shit tin can rust bucket death contraption gaslight I shoved it so hard up its own f**** ass it disintegrated, annihilated, dusted, atomized, roasted, toasted, and burnt to a crisp. I awful waffled it. Then I gathered up the leftover fragments of the busted ass gaslamp and shoved them straight down wormhole circa 1936. IDK what some gaslit nitwit would want to play with the old gaslight for. What will you do with the broken pieces of the gaslamp? Make a leash to walk your dog? Fly the broken pieces of the gaslight like a kite? Anyway, by the time your ate-up-on-voice-to-skull ass goes looking for some bad gas, for old times' sake, as you approach the smelly-ass wormhole, you will notice stretched across the horizon,"life is a luminous halo," which we tapped for the new GasLight. I am targeting you with a luminous halo.
