Torture Apologist 

After looking online in several places, there was no clear definition so I read a lot of articles and then just broke down the words by definition. Hopefully, sparing other people the same reading.

Torture Apologists are those who offer an argument in defense of torture, specifically when working on behalf of the government to capture or kill those deemed (normally) foreign terrorists or (normally) foreign threats.
This is a scenario*and not a fact I am presenting as an example: Jane Doe, a torture apologist, believes that the information that led them to Osama Bin Laden was gathered by water boarding his associates. Jane believes that this is acceptable because tracking Bin Laden’s location should be done by any means necessary, this includes any and all forms of torture in exchange for this information. Jane’s argument is that torture is necessary to prevent loss of life for others. She is a torture apologist because of this.

Torture Apologist 

I don't know what the definition is. I wish someone would define it for me. I see it used all over the internet and in print, but I don't see a bona fide definition for it. I came to the Urban Dictionary, but alas it is not here either.
Heck, I don't know what a torture apologist is. I see it in press, but what is it?

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.
I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.

eye bleach 

Looking or experiencing something nice after witnessing something horrid like a disgusting gif or a disturbing video. Typically used as eye bleach are nice images of whatever makes the disturbed person happy.
"Bleach my eyes! Why is that woman's face ripped off!?"
*Looks up images of puppies and kittens.*
"That's good eye bleach."

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.
Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
