This guy called up our receptionist and told her that her voice was sexy. She laughed for a second and then, as the bethos hit, she got this look in her eyes.

Get the Bethos mug.Related Words
The inevitable outburst of common sense and brutal honesty that results when intelligence has been pushed beyond tolerence by wholly gratuitous stupidity. A variation of going postal or flaming, except through verbal or text medium and without actual violence. The primary quality is the forthright and unvarnished presentation of reality to the offending party, with the intent to educate as well as excoriate.

Get the bethos mug."Bethesda's Bug" refers to a flaw in design that cannot be explicitly defined as intentional or accidental, coined by Joesph Anderson in an analysis of the game Fallout 4 on Youtube.
You might have experienced a feeling where you forget you are watching a movie. You might forget you are reading a book and the world it creates becomes this oasis in your imagination. The best works of fiction feel like extensions of reality with characters that walk off the pages.
Bethesda's Bug breaks a player's immersion and at worse disconnects someone from a world they were enjoying and makes them question that world the developers have built. It makes that world feel small and reveals that it was not fully realized and might make you want to put an otherwise good game down.
"Bethesda" is a studio that develops videogames and a "bug" refers to a behavior a creator may not have intended (almost always referring to videogames or software). "Bethesda's Bug" is a transmogrification of the "Schrödinger's Cat" thought experiment.

What constitutes a "Bethesda's Bug" is pretty nebulous. Any example I can think of that actually qualifies is far too intensive for the purposes of this definition.
I suggest* you watch Joeseph Anderson's Fallout 4 Analysis video on Youtube if you want an example in context. It's a long video but it is worth the watch if you like excessively critical analysis. 25 minutes in he mentions Bethesda's Bug.
*He will spoil the game so if you have any intention of playing Fallout 4 I suggest you go in blind and form your own opinions before exposing yourself to a review.*

Get the bethesda physics mug.1. Basically Potomac except with eight times as many restaurants, three times as many crazy soccer moms, half the number of polo shirts and a shorter commute into DC.
2. City in which walking in any direction for fifteen minutes will inevitably lead you to a Starbucks.
3. Suburbia trying to be urban.
4. Place in which it is extremely dangerous to be a small property, business or house because you are statistically certain to eventually be bought by a rich developer, torn down, built up ten stories high and be sold at ten times your original price.
5. The weekend haunt of slutty-looking pre-teens wearing short skirts or trying to skateboard.
6. Where you will never find a parking space ever, and if you do it won't matter because the restaurant will have a three hour wait anyways.
7. Somewhere deceivingly entertaining, since the only real thing to do is eat or visit Barnes&Noble.
8. A limiting factor when it comes to getting into college, since everyone around you is an overachieving freak who does three sports, is in theatre, edits the yearbook, and is on SGA.

Person from Bethesda: Hi, I'm from Bethesda.
Person Not from Bethesda: Hi, you must be a rich snobby fuck.
PFB: Well yeah kind of, but at least I'm not from Potomac where it's illegal to wear clothes that cost less than $500 per square inch of fabric.
PNFB: Fair point. Wanna go spend an absurd amount of money on movie tickets?
PFB: Sure, but only if we go to the Row since UA/Lowes is sure to be overpopulated by 10-year-old hookers.
PNFB: Good call.
