Usually used to describe overindulgent communications (i.e. texting) and unintentionally friend-zoning yourself. This is done by focusing on obsolete topics and leaving nothing to the imagination. This phrase was named after a novelist who resides just west of the Hudson..
He wouldn’t stop texting me essays about nonsense, he’s pullin’ a Wilkes..

A mental illness where a psychotic fan of a particular celebrity feels the need to force their idol to do their bidding. They would do all sorts of things to make their favorite celeb do work for them, even going as far as to kidnapping them and forcing them to do stuff (this is especially true for certain crazed fans of authors who want their favorite author to write some more novels for them). Another extreme would be killing themselves to reunite with their favorite celebs in the afterlife (one example of this is the Bjork stalker Ricardo Lopez).

The illness is named after the fictional character Annie Wilkes from Stephen King's horror novel Misery.
I once suffered from a small case of Wilkes syndrome, but then I finally woke up and realized that a true fan would never go to extremes to force their favorite celeb to do work for them or kill themselves just to meet them in the afterlife. I don't even know my favorite celebs in real life so it really would be best if I just leave them alone and focus on my own life.

Up-and-coming city in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The de facto hub of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton/Hazleton metro area which is home to over 600,000 people. Like most Pennsylvania cities, Wilkes-Barre went through hard times in the latter part of the 20th century, but for the past decade or so, the city has been on a serious rebound along with its more notorious, but less happening neighbor, Scranton. With all of the renovations, the scenery in Wilkes-Barre has become very charming, including Northampton and Main, the beautiful riverside areas near Wilkes University, the new PA Dept. of Labor building, new antique downtown lighting system, and the loads of mid to upscale shopping establishments near the arena. Wilkes-Barre is the original home to HBO and Planters Peanuts and there are over 8 colleges/universities both in and around the city. Perhaps not the best place on the planet but a very decent affordable pleasant city located conveniently right outside of the Eastern Seaboard.
During presidential elections, Wilkes-Barre, a swing area in a swing state, becomes a noisy circus of national personalities, including George W. Bush, Al Gore, John Kerry, Rudy Giuliani, Laura Bush, Dick Cheney, and Hillary Clinton.
