Focusing Event

An event that draws the public and or government’s attention to or away from a particular issue

The impeachment trial of President Trump in December of 2019 drew attention to the issue of corruption in the U.S. government, while at the same time it drew attention away from a massive cyber attack that shut down all of New Orleans’s municipal government websites, which would have drawn the public’s attention to the danger of cyber-attacks on the government. It is an example of a focusing event.

Wickwick Event

A Wickwick Event is a sexual situation where a man is laying some pipe doggy-style, and while in the midst of sex he inserts his finger in the woman's starfish and then smears his finger across her upper lip, giving her a thin shit moustache. This is the Wickwick Event.

That bitch was so skanky, she didn't even mind that I gave her a Wickwick Event!

Omega event

An event that requires an exception to the rules. Thought to always be possible, no matter how encompassing the rules are. Coined by @Yishan (Twitter) who credited Erik Martin, one of Reddit's first community managers, with the concept.

We have become so accustomed to the notion of “free speech, except” that we do not realize that free speech is ALWAYS limited, and that every limit arose from an Omega Event. - Yishan
