Apr 30 Word of the Day
A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.
The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.

Verb. To Sahota is to screw, scam, shaft or fuck over in relation to rental agreements, leases or any issues related to Landlord / Tenant relationships. Named for notorious slumlord Paul Sahota, owner of some of VanCity's most drug infested, crime ridden and dilapidated single room occupancy hotels.
Example 1:
Recently Made Homeless Man: "While I was in the hospital being treated for lesions from the massive bedbug infestation, my roof collapsed and raw sewage filled my room. Now the building is condemned and I live on the street."
Social Worker: "That sucks, you got royally Sahotaed!"
Example 2:
Tenant: "Sir, the utilities aren't working in my unit and there are more bugs in here than that scene in Temple of Doom. Do you think perhaps you could call Pest Control and maybe also get my water turned on?"
Greedy Slumlord: "Enough of your insolence! You're evicted! My thugs are on their way to remove you!"
Tenant: "Sir! Don't Sahota me, all I want is..."
Greedy Slumlord: *click* Hangs up phone.
