That Abe Vigoda, he can make Chuck Norris ask for mercy and offer oral sex. But Abe Vigoda is to cool to accept that.

Similar to an Abe Lincoln, but directed at the eyebrow region. (To be employed specifically on those women that pluck/wax/shave all of their eyebrows off, then draw a creepy thin line back on with pencil.) While unsuspecting girl is asleep/passed out, ejaculate on her eyebrow/forehead region and sprinkle previously collected pubic hair on so that her eyebrows now resemble that of the well-known actor Abe Vigoda
"Remember that waitress with the creepy penciled-on eyebrows? I took her out, got her good and drunk and...let's just say that before I snuck out of her apartment, I gave her an Abe Vigoda."

When Abe Vigoda actually died, the news article about his death had the text "THIS IS NOT A HOAX" written in bold letters so people would know it wasn't another trick. He really was falsely reported dead that many times.

When the same lie is told so many times that no one believes it when it's actually true. See also: The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
Abe Vigoda Syndrome refers to the actor of the same name, who became a giant running joke in the 1980's after he was falsely reported dead. TWICE. And that was just the beginning. He was falsely reported dead dozens of times in the years that followed. The Internet even made a website entirely dedicated to reporting if Vigoda was living or deceased. Numerous comedians poked fun at the death rumors. Vigoda himself even got in on it upon occasion. "I'm still alive, you pinhead!"
When Vigoda ACTUALLY died in January 2016 at the age of 94, several articles reporting his death actually had to leave disclaimers highlighted in bold that it was "not a hoax." They really couldn't risk people thinking it was a joke.
