selective obliviousness

Having the mental capacity to understand something that's painfully obvious to anybody else and/or has overwhelming and undeniable evidence, but deliberately ignoring it for any number of reasons. Compare willful ignorance.

Jean was presented with mountains of evidence that her husband was cheating on her, and more-or-less covered her ears and went "LALALALALA." I swear, she's engaging in selective obliviousness.

Name

That which you should not define on this site.

Stop defining your name on Urban Dictionary, dammit. The editors already have enough work to do.

worf effect

The principle that, in fiction, the strongest member of the cast gets utterly wailed on in order to establish just how powerful the villain of the week is. Differs from the Red Shirt in that the Red Shirt isn't given any characterization beyond his/her name, while the Worf is a properly developed character. Named after Worf in Star Trek, wherein he kept getting trashed by the bad guys.

Yo, did you see that new show?

Yeah! That tough guy wound up getting curb stomped.

Worf effect, no doubt.

The only use the Punch of Kill Everything has is making a swimming pool

overturning the election

An extremely embarrassing period of American history in which a humanoid cheese puff with a stupid wig essentially threw a massive temper tantrum and tried to destroy the United States just because he didn't win an election.

The president, living in a delusional state of paranoid denial, ordered his supporters to storm the capitol building with the intent of severely harming, if not killing, basically every senator and representative who didn't support him in a last ditch attempt at overturning the election.
