the event, observation / perception of, reaction to -- mass hypnosis.
derived from a specific historical event (video documentation), when the commander in chief addressed an active-duty armed forces division in a militarized zone. with careful diction, the president punctuated his statement : "and you will ... complete your --- "
the pronunciation of "mission," elicited from the division--in all but perfect unison-- a slow crescendo, a roar, something like "rah" at its peak.
the noteworthy aspect is both aural and visual. half a beat after the word was spoken (an apparent, if experimental, verbal prompt) the division members slowly raised their heads and emitted--some tentative, at first, some strong, then as a chorus--the crescendo-roar. it gave the distinct impression of hypnosis on a mass scale.
the phrase then, not only denotes the incident described, but also the feelings elicited by it. more generally, it denotes the event (real or hypothetical), of grand-scale, schematic influence of human behavior/performance. (at least, and specifically in this case, to the degree of verbal prompting.) it might also be used as an epithet.
the primary example, the one from which the phrase derives, is given above, as part of the definitional terminology.
more generally: any time a large group, say ten thousand or more, responds to a verbal prompt in a manner that suggests a subliminally embedded cue, called out by the speaker. the cue word is not important, may be obvious, even anticipated; rather, it is the nature of the response. timed, rhythmic, spontaneous, choral, lacking in self awareness.
note :
those from whom the response is elicited--depending on the individual, situational variables and controls--may identify it as an instance of manipulation, extrapolate and assess the implications.
if conditions allow for a phenomenological analysis of a perceived violation (that takes precedence over a given emotional response such as outrage), a reverse "challenge" (hypnotic motivation institute, glossary of terms: hypnosis.edu/glossary/c) might emerge.
consider for instance, the prose inked by radiohead on their 2001 release, AMNESIAC (copyright EMI LTD.) : "come on. come on if you think. you can take us ... all on. holy roman empire. you and whose army? you and your cronies..."

one might dismiss such an event as accidental.(a paltry dismissal.)or, with a casual reference to the ubiquity of nuero-linguistic programming.
but key here is the scale. the context. the super-spooky.
ergo, mission creep.

A term invented by Angela and Nikki. A super secret mission, usually only involving two people who know each other well, that always involves some level of crime and/or shenanigans. Usually kept secret between the partakers to avoid getting into trouble. Mission is always completed successfully because of the wit and planning that is carefully thought through before attempting the mission. A super secret mission is never to harm anyone or anything physically and is usually done for the justice of the people or someone that has been done wrong.
"Did you hear? Angela and Nikki are on a super secret mission tonight, but they won't tell us what they are doing."

The preppiest public school in the midwest. The girls all strut around with their vera bradley gear. The guys all walk around with their Ralph Lauren shirts and their sperry's. The poser skaters get high before school and sell weed to the preppy girls who all get drunk at anytime possible.
Katlynn goes to Shawnee Mission East, her dad is a lawyer and she lives in Mission Hills. She spends all of her dad's cash on Jack Daniels and doesnt come home on Friday nights.

If you are looking to get a pixie cut or die your hair lime green mission vista is the place for you. During lunch times there is so much to do! You can view the asexuals humping in the corner, do some coke in the bathroom, or even join the march to prompt pride through the campus. Mission vista is an awesome school mostly because of its football teams undefeated season. I highly recommend going there. There’s even a steel drums program!
random girl: wait you go to Mission vista highschool? I heard the football team there is insane!
guy: ya it’s awesome, the athletics here are great
A small town in Canada, which is proven to be the most useless place in Canada. With nothing to do, Mission is known as "skid-nation" or "boring". Mission has absolutely nothing to do. It has "Urban Planet" for a teenager clothing retreat. Considering that is the only place to get clothing for teenagers, Everyone owns everything from there. To close this negative argument, Mission is the worst city, ever. Sorrow and sympathy is sent to everyone whom lives there. Sucks to be you, suckers!
Sorry to the people of Mission, British Columbia.

A public high school in Prairie Village, KS. Notoriously known for its students' exorbitant amounts of underage drinking, smoking, and preppiness. Their principal makes attempts to end this, but his actions are fruitless. Students pregame everything. Football and basketball games, community service activities, even school itself sometimes. Drinks of choice include natty light, jack daniels, and vodka in water bottles for stealth drinking. The other Shawnee Mission Schools scoff this alcoholism but the SMEasters don't really seem to give a shit.
"Dude, did you see that kid from Shawnee Mission East? He fucking reeked of cheap whiskey."
"Yeah, their entire student section smells like a brewery"
