1. to tell a bald faced lie to someone and then brazenly deny that this was ever done
2. to give a person the frustration of moving their keys, purse, wallet, condoms, or other object and to then claim they were never moved or the person had done it themself
3. a frequent tool in the slickery dick or slickery clit's toolkit for infidelity
4. an insidious tool in the hands of unscrupulous mind-screwers and sociopaths
5. to tell a lie (consciously or unconsciously) without regard for whether or not you undermine another person's sanity/ perception of reality
It comes from the 1938 movie Gas Light.

Tommy Lee was gas lighting Elizabeth Taylor until she lost her mind. Mr. Lee should be shot.
Courtney Love leveled Kurt Cobain, not just with the multiple affairs, but by gently undermining his self respect with a little known procedure called gas lighting. He didn't even know he was a pound overweight until he was 20 pounds overweight. Poor guy.
It is a sign of the slow progress of culture that something as insidious as gas lighting can fail to be widely known, except in a slang dictionary definition, nearly three quarters of a century later than the movie by the same name.

Get the gas lighting mug.Attempting to deceive others about farting by switching types: silent but deadly, long and lingering, popping corn, bold and blatant, hidden behind other sounds and the sonic stinky. Ultimately driving everyone around him crazy and nauseous!
One of my strangest friends tends to pretend that he doesn’t have digestive gaseous problems by Gas-lighting his farts in different ways instead of just owning them!!!

Get the gas lighting mug.Gas lighting is the act of lying to someone repetitivly to make that person start questioning reality. Contrary to popular belief it's spelled gas lighting and not gaslighting. It was always spelled gas lighting. It's spelled gas lighting and it will always be like that. That's not an opinion, that's just a fact. If you believe it is spelled gaslighting you might wanna sit down and think about it for a bit. Its okay to sometimes have wrong memories. It happens to the best of us. remembering something that isn't real is also called the mandela effect. It might be the reason you believe its spelled gaslighting but it's actually gas lighting. There's no shame in admitting that you are wrong. Just think about it for a bit. Would it make sense to put these two words together? Why would there be no space between two different words? Like do you write: "I need to cookfoodtoday" or "I need to cook food today". Obviously the latter one. If you keep believing its written gaslighting then there really might be something wrong with you. You might wanna see a doctor or something.

Hey my new friend is constantly lying to me. I think he is gaslighting me.
Dude it's spelled gas lighting not gaslighting. It was always gas lighting. From the moment language was invented gas lighting was spelled with a space in between.
What? I always thought it's gaslighting.
Yeah Nah, you need to see a doctor asap. I called the police on you for your own safety. Get well soon.
