micro adjustments

Some crap a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu white belt says when he brags about tapping a purple belt. You’ll automatically know it’s a lie because he will go viral by being roasted on Reddit and BJJ Facebook pages with memes.
“As I transitioned to the S mount and began stabilizing my opponent, I started making the micro adjustments necessary to lock the arm bar.”

Microadjustments 

Harvesting the conscientious ability to make such subtle shifts in one’s course of action that it’s often unseeable to the naked eye, but seemingly makes said course of action indomitable. Microadjustments can be applied to all aspects of life, but are most commonly known and referred to in the Jiu Jitsu world. The term is known to pretty much the entire BJJ community after a white belt notoriously bragged about tapping a purple belt due using microadjustments.
“I took his back real sneaky like and started to set up a choke, when he tried to escape I used my microadjustments to sink the choke deeper and force the tapout.”

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!
