Get the Moffatism mug.The practice of fandom trolling and/or telling outright lies in interviews in order to whip fans into a frenzy of excitement and completely off-base speculation, for the lols. Named for British television writer Steven Moffat.

Get the moffism 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).
Whovian 1: Hey, did you see the new episode of Doctor Who last night?
Whovian 2: Yeah, that Moffism was intense!

Get the Moffism mug.a bunch of transexual brothers with floppy hair who made irritatingly stupid pointless music and had a swarm of air headed girls as fans while they were around.

Get the moffatts mug.The practice, exercised almost exclusively by well-known, white, straight, cis men, of taking a creation (their own, a collaborative work, or another's) and attempting to improve upon it in a way that diminishes the quality of the work.
Named after Steven Moffat, who took over as the main writer of Doctor Who after Russel T. Davies left. Moffat's attempts to make each season he worked on more special and complex than the last ended up making the most recent season (season 10) into an overcomplicated, confusing mess, with plot threads left hanging and an unsatisfying conclusion.
