Adjective. When the difficulty of a given task or set thereof is not due to actual mechanical challenge and testing of skillsets, but instead is "Difficulty by numbers", in which the difficulty comes as a result of simply continuing to stack more and more odds against the tasked. Examples of Lemon Difficulty include video game bosses with massive amounts of health and can kill you in one hit, but otherwise aren't mechanically challenging, and 'runaround' type tasks that involve a lot of tedious backtracking.
"Hell, the Big Bank heist in Payday 2 on stealth really isn't anything more than just Lemon Difficult"
The act of biting another individual, often as a result of provocation, to everyone's apparent surprise, despite a clear warning being given.
Renegade: I'm gonna bite-uwu!
Everyone: He won't, he's just a glorified bunny.
(Renegade proceeds to bite everyone in the room)
(Everyone is surprised)
Sensible person: I mean, he said he was gonna do it! How can anyone be surprised?!
Adverb. The act of excessively adding the word 'doth' into a conversation, regardless of whether or not it is grammatically correct.
Alex: What doth life?
Gregor: What is this dothage, this madness?

Gregor: IF I HEAR ONE MORE DOTH OUT OF YOU, I AM DRAGGING YOUR ASS TO THE HAGUE FOR CRIMES AGAINST LANGUAGE
The extremely pretentious and poorly-executed cousin of Grimdark, where everyone lives morosely ever after and the creator jerks themselves off with the idea that they made Powerful Art(TM). If a story makes you regret the energy you invested in it, it's likely a Grimgrey-type story, and Grimgrey stories are always failures in that regard.
Grimdark: "Bring all the guns and we might just survive!"
Grimgrey: "They brought all the guns, but they didn't survive. Everybody died and those who didn't were traumatized messes for the rest of their miserable lives. No one was ever happy ever again, now go cry in a corner about existence while I, the author, give myself prostate orgasms with how far my head is up my own ass."
A literature phenomenon in which the first book of a series does so well, and may even be considered a classic, that subsequent books in the series become staggeringly formulaic, to the point where the only difference between it and the last one are maybe location, names of characters, and point in time the story takes place in.
Named for Piers Anthony, author of the Xanth series, one of the most notable instances of this phenomenon.
"I really liked Frank Herbert's "Dune". It was honestly a well written story, its just that his other books got quite... similar afterwards. Same general plot, message, almost everything but the names."
"Ah, so he contracted Piers Anthony Disease?"
"I'm afraid so..."
A phenomenon in which a subject thinks of a particular entity or concept, imagines they exist, but they have no idea they actually do exist until it stands right before them.
Jarrek was definitely experiencing the Known Unseen when he had the idea for a drink called Bawls, but he didn't know that it had already been done.
The quintessential level-up from humbled, when one is humbled beyond other words.
All of you guys, you'd follow me to the end of time, I'm so shmumbled.
