gaslighting

When a ‘significant other’ or friend stops wanting to hang with you unless they can’t find anyone else to hang with.
Some believe this terminology roots back to the operation of a gas lantern and how it can be turned down in an instant as not to waste fuel (i.e. a persons time) and then turned back up once there is insufficient natural light (i.e. there’s no one else to hang with).

Unsuspecting Dupe: “Man, I don’t know what’s up with Emmy. Everything’s cool and then all of a sudden she won’t call for a couple weeks; then she’ll just start showing up again.”
Unsuspecting Dupes friend: “Yea, she’s gaslighting you bro’.”

gaslighting

What those with mental health/perception issues accuse you of doing, when really you are trying to explain your perception of what's going on.

Her: "It's a 6"

Him (Standing on the other side) "It's a 9"

Her: You're gaslighting me!

Gaslight

An avante-guard nite club in Greenwich Village during the mid-sixties, that featured folk artists such as Joan Baez, Eric Anderson, and Dave VanRonk.

Young dabbler: " Hey Deb, I'm looking for a cool place to take my girlfriend this Friday night. Have any ideas?"

Deb: "Yeah, why not take her to the Village Gaslight!"

Gaslighter

A person who manipulates someone into loving and/or trusting them by pretending to be someone they are not. They will then use and abuse the person twisting every situation on them and trying to make them think they are crazy.

Matt Chotkevys is a gaslighter.

Gaslighted

Edwin thinking that everyone in this planet is Tona's alts

Poor Edwin is questioning everything he believes in because he's been gaslighted into thinking that every single human being and certain bots are out to get him.

Mexican gaslight

When something is very spicy but Mexicans tell you it is not

-They told me "go on, try it, it's not spicy". But it was and they laughed at me saying it was not spicy at all
-Yeah, typical Mexican gaslight

The Gaslight Anthem

They are band from New Jersey. They sound like Bruce Springsteen playing the Clash with Mike Ness, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, and Lee Rocker in the back up band and Charles Dickens is their manager.
They play real music that comes from the Soul, not greed

Best songs are
The 59 Sound
Old White Lincoln
Here's to looking at you Kid
Meet Me By the Rivers Edge

Kid One: Hey man have you heard of The Gaslight Anthem?
Kid Two: No, whos that
Kid One: Shows him
Kid Town: DAMN THATS REAL MUSIC FROM THE HEART AND SOUL! THATS THAT JERSEY SOUND!
