epidumbic

The large, rapid spreading of an unintelligent or false idea among the masses. First coined by Jimmy Kimmel to describe the increasing number of people saying "refudiate" as if it were a word, which originated from a Sarah Palin tweet.

Man: Did you see that news reporter say "refudiate" on TV? That's not even a word! Sarah Palin made it up!

Woman: Yep, it's a regular epidumbic.

The West Virginia Panhandle Epidemic

This proven ideal is that people living in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia are two or more years behind in society, but live only one half mile from two adjoining states. If a certain line of clothing and/or jewelry is popular now in those two adjoining states, rest assured it will not catch on until 2011 in the WV panhandle. Additionally to that, all teenage boys seem to have red hair and the traditional bowl cut from the mid to late 1990's and wear black tennis shoes to all occassions. Women in this epidemic seem to have a fetish for Looney Tunes T's and/or other cartoons.

"Hey man, isn't this Aeropostale shirt sweet?"

reply: "yeah man, if it was 2001"

"why is he wearing black tennis shoes to the homecoming?"

reply: "because he's a card carrying member of the West Virginia Panhandle Epidemic"

Tag Epidemic

A tag epidemic usually occurs on Facebook. What happens is, a person will tag a lot of other people on a photo and then the people tagged also tag more people. What ends up happening is that more and more people are tagged and leave comments on the photos that turn to full conversations between 30 people, which in turn leaves many, many notifications to check, and clogged email. A recent picture has been a cartoon picture with names describing a trait of your friends and tells you to tag others. Has been known to cause severe frustration, telling people to shut up or stop commenting, and untagging. It has also been known to be a cyber disease. They may also cause your email inbox to look like spam.

Guy 1- "Dude, that new picture is a helluva tag epidemic. I went home to go on Facebook and I had 178 notifications! All about one picture! People were even talking about the tag epidemic on the photo."

Guy 2- "Luckily I got only 56 notifications"
