Trend Lag

Jet lagging of social trends between a country and another, either due to timezone differences, or otherwise.

Ex. 1: #AppleEvent is trending in Egypt, although the event has ended more than 24 hours ago. This is definitely a trend lag.
Ex. 2: #Oscars2015 is trend-lagged in Germany.

Marty:"I have DeLorean lag. I left 1955 at 5:00PM and arrived here at 8:00AM"
Doc:"Great Scott!"

guns don’t kill people, lag does

A play on “guns don’t kill people, people kill people”, but in response to the growing number of school shootings being blamed on first- and third-person shooters.

Coined by the Act Man, “guns don’t kill people, lag does”, shows the irony of the situation we’re in, Luddites meeting up and talking about Grand Theft Auto.
