Popfanaticultionism 

A psychological condition in which an individual develops an extreme, group-influenced obsession—either admiration or hatred—toward an author or writer. This condition arises when people, often as part of an online or real-world community, lose individual reasoning and adopt a collective emotional response toward an author’s work, personal life, or public opinions. Those affected by popfanaticultionism engage in behaviors such as blind idolization, aggressive defense against criticism, mass harassment, or organized attempts to discredit and "cancel" a writer. Their actions are primarily driven by the influence of fan groups, literary circles, or social media communities that reinforce a singular, often exaggerated, perspective.
1. The rise of popfanaticultionism has fueled a growing divide in literary circles, where readers who favor highbrow literature express disdain for those drawn to mainstream, pop-culture-driven narratives.

2. The obsessive disdain for mainstream literature, fueled by popfanaticultionism, can manifest as a compulsive need to reject popular works, leading to a literary snobbery that borders on a psychological fixation.

3. His popfanaticultionism blinded him with irrational hatred, making him despise books solely for being popular.

4. Consumed by popfanaticultionism, she ridiculed readers of mainstream fiction, believing herself intellectually superior.

5. His popfanaticultionism warped his judgment, making him dismiss great literature just because it had mass appeal.

6. Driven by popfanaticultionism, she obsessed over hating bestsellers more than actually enjoying books.

7. His toxic popfanaticultionism turned literary discussions into rants against anything remotely successful.

Popfanaticultist (noun) /ˌpɒp.fəˌnætɪˈkʌl.tɪst/

A person diagnosed with popfanaticultionism, actively participating in fanatical behavior toward an author, either through obsessive admiration or relentless criticism. A popfanaticultist who idolizes an author may attack fellow readers who express differing opinions, defend problematic content unconditionally, and pressure publishers to prioritize their favorite writer. Meanwhile, a popfanaticultist who despises an author may initiate smear campaigns, encourage boycotts, or manipulate online ratings to harm the writer’s reputation. Whether acting as an unwavering supporter or a relentless detractor, a popfanaticultist exhibits behavior driven by collective influence rather than independent thought, ultimately shaping an unhealthy literary culture.

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
