loser edit 

A term used to describe when most or all of the footage seen of a particular contestant on a competitive reality show is aimed toward making that contestant seem inept, flustered, and generally in over his/her head.

A contestant may be given the loser edit for the entirety of his/her appearance on a show (in which case he/she is usually eliminated relatively early on) or for an individual episode. The latter situation, though traditionally used to foreshadow and/or validate the contestant's elimination at the end of the episode, has recently been used more frequently by more clever editors to create suspense and surprise when the seemingly struggling contestant ends up exceeding expectations.

This technique is most often used by competitive reality shows concerned with a specific skill--such as cooking (Top Chef), fashion design (Project Runway), or modeling (America's Next Top Model)--rather than non-skill-specific competitive reality shows like Survivor. It is also primarily used by shows that employ an on-screen judge or panel of judges to make decisions regarding eliminations, as shows that include audience participation (like American Idol) are wont to draw outspoken criticism from fans of the contestant getting the loser edit.

Antonym: winner's edit
Mary thinks that Gordana is one of the more talented contestants on this season of Project Runway, but the editors consistently give her the loser edit.

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!
