Just utterly off topic and obviously not referring to anything posted here, is everybody familiar with the term "gaslighting"?

Quote:
Gaslighting or gas-lighting is a form of mental abuse in which a victim is manipulated into doubting their own memory, perception and sanity. Instances may range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.
The term owes its origin to the 1938 play Gas Light and its film adaptations. The term has been used in clinical and research literature.
...The term "gaslighting" has been used colloquially since the 1960s to describe efforts to manipulate someone's sense of reality.
