Get the MoFoCo. mug.The general mind-fuckery associated with watching almost any episode from season five onwards of the new Doctor Who. Written by Steven Moffat and featuring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams, and Alex Kingston as Dr. River Song, the episodes often leave subtle hints as to what's going on without giving a straight answer until the very end (and sometimes not even then).

Get the Moffism mug./ˈmɒfət/ (moffating, to moffat, moffated, moffats etc.)
Basically trolling a fandom by ending a TV series season with a cliffhanger, an extremely frustrating ending and/or killing of a character and (optionally) then going on a hiatus for more than a year, all the while managing to make said fandom still love you.
After moffating a fandom there will be A) a lot of online sadness for the deceased character and/or B) internet (crack)theories and/or C) quite a bit of good old fashioned Internet rage against the writer of the episode. Good examples are Sherlock or Doctor Who.
