1. A term used by fans of a TV show/work of fiction to describe an attempt by the writers/creator(s) to twist the narrative on its head by introducing something so completely unexpected that it puts a completely new spin on things and forces the viewer to assess thier opinion or perception of where said fiction/show is ultimately headed.
The most effective gamechangers are those which cannot be predicted using the clues introduced to the narrative so far, and leave the audience completely and utterly confused.
A gamechanger can, in the minds of some fans stray extremely close to Jumping the Shark, however a gamechanger is often seen as a positive if it enhances the quality or intrigue in a work of fiction.
Words also commonly associated with a gamechanger when they are shown, are WTF and OMG and Holy Shit.
"Dude did you see that gamechanger moment on LOST last night? I totally didn't click that was a flash-forward all along, I mean, I thought they'd NEVER get off that crazy island"
"That was SUCH a gamechanger when Neo woke up in the real world man, didn't see that coming. That was fucking awesome"
"I'm fucking sick and tired of Lost nerds on the forums telling me that there's going to be a gamechanger in next week's episode"

Verb. Based on the events of the 2005 Romaric drama film âShopgirlâ starring Claire Danes and Steve Martin.
When a wealthier older male uses his greater access to resources to spoil and future-fake a log term romantic relationship with a younger woman in order to gain then retain sexual access to her whilst actually having zero intention of actually committing to her.
Ray Porter was Shopgirling Mirabelle. He treated her well, spoiled her with luxuries and gifts and let her believe he wanted to be with her in the future. When the reality was he only wanted a sexual relationship with her on his terms.
1. To be too confused to remember or use the word you were really thinking of so use a similar sounding substitute with the same general meaning implied through contextual use/tone
2. To concoct, scramble together, improvise for the best on the spot for lack of better options
Tom: Alright meat, letâs get that MOT sorted yeah?
Me: Sorry Iâve been too besquaddled to understand whatâs talking to who lately
1. 'Glitching the Swing' represents a paradigm shift in the way a player approaches a game and plays it. The term suggests a sense of apathy at a game's intended game-play style that leads to a pointless, impatient ramblng play that has no sense of direction or purpose and adds nothing towards actual, measurable progress within a game.
2. The point in which a videogame's inherent game-world, features and storyline missions cease to be as exciting/fun and become too repetetive or predictable for the player to feel motivated enough to play a game 'properly' anymore. They procrastinate play within the game-world, looking instead to the game's glitches and inconsistencies as a more enthralling form of entertainment.
The phrase originates from a disappointing experience some players may have had when playing the single player campaign of Grand Theft Auto IV. To some, the game's missions gradually revealed themselves to be quite repetetive, and the much-vaunted ability to go out with friends eventually became a chore as the incessant pestering of the player by phone hampered enjoyment. Discounting online play, the player is then left with no alternative but to find other sources of enjoyment within the game away from the pre-set activities, a prime example being trying to exploit a glitch in a swingset in Broker/Dukes that if done correctly, will launch the player or the vehicle into the air. This is a difficult thing to master, so if a player finds themselves tired or deflated by the game's incumbent game-play dynamics and is more interested or thrilled at spending time trying to master the glitching of the swing than progressing through missions, the game/player has 'glitched the swing'
This is somewhat comparible but not analogous to the exisiting terms 'Jump the Shark' and the newer 'Nuke the Fridge', as a videogame can, in its own way still do both these things also.
Glitch the Swing is also just as subjective as these terms, however it is more dependent on any one player's attention span, cynisism or ease-of-amusement, and even thier degree of experience playing games of much a similar style, as this could lead to early glitching of the swing.
Not only this, but a player themselves can glitch the swing if they so choose. All they would need to do is overindulge in countless hours of play within a short enough space of time that overfamiliarity with the game-play mechanics prompt them to look for other ways to amuse themselves while playing the game.
A player is particularly glitching the swing if they have not progressed that far within the game's story or missions by the time they reach this watershed moment.
"Yeah GTAIV is a great game and all, but it's all the same after a while. I'm having more fun glitching the swing in Broker"
"Why are still playing? You're not even DOING anything in it anymore. You've glitched the swing"
"This game's such a let down. I got tired after 3 hours. I'm glitching the swing just thinking about it"

Unlike Truman Show Delusion sufferers who see themselves as being the unwitting main character in a reality TV show, Telefantastic Dissociative Delusional Disorder sufferers see their life as being full-blown scripted, expensive serialised drama TV Series. They frame each year of their life as being a 'season', each week roughly equating to a single 'episode' of their show.
The sufferer twists known facts and does mental gymnastics to shoehorn their mundane lives into some form of 'season arc' for their character.
They know full well that they aren't really in a TV show. - they just desperately want to be.
Ultimately, Telefantastic Dissociative Delusional Disorder is just a tactic employed by the miserable to deny reality - those who know deep down that the only way their life can have meaning is not through art or expression, giving and charity, a relationship with God but instead by forcibly contextualising everything as being a carefully scripted, story-boarded and rehearsed piece of fiction to be consumed by only the sufferer themselves.
The sufferer inevitably commits suicide or dies in their 'series finale' - Whether their TV Series achieved excellence and a satisfactory conclusion (Breaking Bad), was cancelled before its time and fondly remembered (Party Down), went seasons too long and became a shadow of itself (The Simpsons), (Dexter) can only be determined by the dead sufferer's friends and family at the funeral.
Q; "What's wrong with Caleb? He said he hadn't seen me since 'Season 2', and that he thought I'd been written out, whatever that means?
A: "Dude yeah he's got Telefantastic Dissociative Delusional Disorder' - just nod and smile. He'll kill himself if he thinks his show might be getting cancelled or resorting to cheap plot twists"
