Startle The Witch

A phrase originating from the video game Left 4 Dead that is to perform an action or say something that instantly transforms your good woman (wifey) from herself to a raving, dangerous banshee.

Jon: Lisa's freaking out man! I don't know what to do!

Pat: What did you do?

Jon: All I said was that I needed a little space.

Pat: Saying shit like that will ALWAYS startle the witch.

Startle-fucked

When someone asks you a direct question that you are unprepared or incapable of giving a direct answer to and the period of time between the question and your formulated response is obvious to both parties; or when the result is unintentional and truly horrendous truth-telling.

Omg my new roommate and I were having such a good convo, out of the blue she asks me what dating site I use and she startle-fucked me into saying fetlife. Now she’s browsing my anal fisting videos in a way I’m entirely unprepared to deal with at the breakfast table.
