The bread pudding effect

When you make a recipe for your friends or family that turns out a bit *too* good. They then associate you with said recipe and insistently demand that you make it for them at as many special occasions as possible. It can become very annoying very quickly.

Named after a dessert called bread pudding, praised for its simplicity and incredible flavor.
1: "UUGHHH! I hate the bread pudding effect!"
2: "Uh... what?"
1: "I made some bread pudding for my sister's birthday party last week. It turned out incredibly well, but now it's all she ever talks about with me! She keeps asking me to make more of it for her and asking me to bring some to more events and... ugh, it's so annoying."
2: "Bread pudding is indeed really quite nice! Ya know... you could probably persuade her to pay you for more of it in the future."
1: "That-- ...that's not a bad idea, actually. Hm!"

Steroidial corporation

A corporation or other entity in a state of artificial, transient economic prosperity, requiring a constant flow of exorbitant amounts of money or other resources to maintain itself. Steroidial corporations will often go to extreme measures to maintain their artificial prosperity, such as committing human rights violations or engaging in political lobbying.
America is dominated by the aggressive ambitions of steroidial corporations such as Amazon and Google. Not knowing when to back down, they have grown into terrible monstrosities with countless instances of corruption and human rights violations attributed to them. The government would surely step in to stop them if the government had not also become reliant on the heaps of dirty money coming in via taxes and bribery to sustain themselves. With how deeply-rooted the corruption of the American government and its gluttonous corporate sponsors has become, many Americans worry that only a third world war could be enough to set things right once and for all...

BNC connector

A specific type of coaxial cable connector that locks into place with a quarter-twist. The meaning of the acronym "BNC" is largely ambiguous, with various interpretations such as "Bayonet Neil-Concelman", "British Naval Connector", "Bayonet Nut Connector", and others.
IT admin: "The telecom uses BNC connectors for their cable boxes, so we'll need to look into finding a vendor to buy some BNC cables from."
Inquisitive intern: "Alright. Hey, what does the 'BNC' in BNC connector stand for, anyways?"
IT admin: "Honestly, it used to stand for something, but no one really knows precisely what anymore. Just get creative with it, I guess."

Anapara

Shorthand for "Analysis paralysis", a phenomenon frequently observed in individuals with ADHD or organizations with excessive strategic analysis policies. Also known as "the homework effect".

Analysis paralysis is when one becomes so caught up in the planning process of a large task, trying to find the most efficient way to do something, that the task remains unattended to until it's too late.
user1: "yeah, I just get so caught up in trying to plan out my next move that I end up having to make a shit move just to avoid taking up too much time"
user2: "I feel that. Chess can get pretty hard, and anapara sucks ass. I can run through a game with you to help tutor, if that would help."
user1: "ye let's try that"

The doctor's middle finger

A slang term for opioids, where they are viewed as a doctor's way of giving someone the middle finger. If the doctor can't diagnose a patient's condition, and the patient continues to insist on treatment options in spite of the doctor's reluctance, the doctor may prescribe the patient opioids as a way of simply shutting them up rather than helping them figure out what's wrong. Given the naturally addictive nature of opioid medications, this is often seen as a doctor's way of hurting someone back, often being viewed as the worst-kept secret of American healthcare.
"I recently found out my grandma's death was attributed to an opioid overdose. She'd received the doctor's middle finger over her chronic kidney troubles in 2006, and things were never really the same for her since then."

Good Source Of Vitamins

A term for any article of food, typically snack foods, that has a significant amount of sugar in it, around 50% your daily value's sugar per serving size.
Upon the box of poptarts read a small but prevalent line of text at the front: "good source of vitamins and minerals!" A simple tactic to distract careless buyers from daring to read the nutrition facts on the back and find the dark secrets buried just below the surface...
