A ringing in the ears that sounds like a hovering mosquito, brought on by the anticipation that mosquitoes WILL begin to torment you just as you are dozing off.

Mass reporting of any violation of a rule while disrespecting the intent of the rule, just for the sake of getting something removed.
1. Someone posts a video of a political speech. There is no swearing; it could be on CNN.
2. The opponents of the person giving the speech mass report that video for containing "disturbing content," even though "disturbing content" is supposed to be something like, say, gore.
3. In reaction to the mass reports, moderators flag the video as 18+ or remove it entirely, just because of the rulebombing effect.
A Michael Scott Racist is a generally well-intentioned person who tries so hard to be politically correct and to demonstrate that they are not racist that they show themselves to actually be racist. Named for Steve Carell's character on The Office who made a habit of being this.
Oscar: Both my parents were born in Mexico. And they moved to the United States a year before I was born. So I grew up in the United States. My parents were Mexican.
Michael Scott: Wow. Wow. That is... That is a great story. That's the American dream right there, right? Um, let me ask you, is there a term besides "Mexican" that you prefer? Something less offensive?
Kate: I'm not racist. I love all races, but especially Asians because although they're not great drivers, they really know how to run a buffet.
John: You're a Michael Scott Racist.

The opposite of jump the shark, i.e. when a TV show goes from unspectacular/boring/outlandish to completely awesome. It references Star Trek: The Next Generation, which was unspectacular until season 2, when Commander Riker grew a beard. The show kicked ass from then on.
"Man, Dollhouse really pulled a Riker's Beard last week with that awesome episode."
A term coined by Whitney Houston in an interview by Barbara Walters. Whitney Houston was denying her drug addiction by citing the simple fact that she can afford to do BETTER drugs.
