barbaric lampshade

'Barbaric lampshade' is a term usually said by sarcastic high schoolers. The meaning stems from 'enlightenment'. Ergo, if you're a lampshade, you're idiotic. The barbaric portion is due to you spreading your stupidity around and shoving it down people's throats.

Origin: A freshman at Woodland Junior High School, 2013.

"You barbaric lampshade!"
