The Wei Effect 

The act of intending to study in a public or private place, but the intention has turned into utter un-productivity when a friend joins the social space. However you end up leaving that area smarter but yet nothing done.
Everybody is studying in starbucks doing their own stuff, then Wei walked in, wei goes around and said hi to everyone, starts a conversation with the professor about some metaphysical concept, another guy joins in the conversation, then soon everybody whose purpose was to do homework in starbucks has turned into a huge dialogue about sexuality, religion, politics, or some other metaphysical snuff. Productivity went from 100% to 10%, yet everyone probebly gained about 5 critical IQ points.

"Dude, did you do anywork today at starbucks man?"
"Nope, it was the Wei Effect, my smart sociology friend came in, and instead of working on pathology, we ended up talking about human sexuality and its correlation to praxis"
"What the fuck does Praxis mean?"
"I have no clue, but its sounds smart"
"Dude, f***ing Wei Effect, now i wont do well in my patho test, however my sociology of sex exam will be peace of cake".

Worth the Weight

It created a Youtube craze, just look it up on there.
Person 1: Half-Life 3 is taking an awfully long time to be released, and Gabe has no news...
Person 2: Hopefully it will be worth the weight!

The weird part of Youtube 

The weird part of YouTube is typically an area full of video irrelevant to what you were originally watching. These videos would normally go untouched, but become popular when a significant amount of people follow of a chain of "related videos" into said area of YouTube. These videos usually have misleading titles and thumbnails, or are just plain... weird.

Since most people become confused when they somehow cross into the weird part of YouTube, they share the experience by commenting about it, usually to find that a great many of YouTubers have also reached this conclusion
"I was watching a video about Gary Coleman and 5 'related videos' later I got stuck in the weird part of Youtube."

"Somebody help me! I've been stuck in the weird part of Youtube for 5 days! I'm surrounded by deformed babies and old people!"

"Somehow I stumbled into the weird part of Youtube and I've never wanted to punch something so badly."

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
