soap opera effect
A term used to describe the hyper-realistic look of video content that can occur due to high frame rates or certain video processing settings, making everything appear overly smooth and artificial—similar to the visual style of daytime soap operas. This effect can detract from the intended cinematic experience.
I recently picked up all five seasons of The Twilight Zone on Blu-ray. It had been remastered in HD producing a crystal clear and perfect picture, but it was too clean. It was noticeable the show was filmed on a set and at times gave a 'soap opera effect'.

member
A colloquial term for the male genitalia, often used in humorous or euphemistic contexts. It refers to the physical organ and can also imply a sense of ownership or personal identity related to masculinity.
I would have to think it's because the unicorn stuffed animal is soft and plush and Deadpool's eyelids are one of the most sensitive parts on his body, so lightly rubbing your eyelids across the toy while masturbating was done so that he would trick his mind in thinking that the soft pleasing sensation was from the friction from his hand and his 'member'.

Analisa
Having her name derived from the word "analysis, to analyze", Analisa is a company revenue analyst who usually wears black suit + white collared shirt + black span skirt to her office.
When it comes to crunching numbers, Analisa is all business—always in her black suit and white collared shirt, analyzing revenue like a pro while looking sharp in the office.

GTA loading screen
Named after the game "Grand Theft Auto", the slang term "GTA loading screen" refers to websites like time.is/Surabaya that constantly shows advertisings for women's underwear when your parents walk in — but only shows restrained types (and amounts) of advertisings whilst your parents are sleeping or busy with activities like gardening.
I was just trying to check the time on my phone, but when my parents walked in, I got hit with a total GTA loading screen, bombarded by ads for women's underwear like it was some kind of prank!

cognitive tunneling
Cognitive tunneling is a psychological phenomenon where a person's attention narrows to a single point, ignoring all other information. This happens most often under high stress or during a sudden, unexpected event, causing a person's brain to transition from a relaxed state to a panicked, focused state that fixates on a narrow set of stimuli. This can lead to an inability to see the bigger picture, sometimes described as inattentional blindness, and is a common cause of errors in high-pressure situations, such as pilots or drivers missing crucial cues.
During the exam, I hit a tough question and fell into cognitive tunneling, completely missing the easier ones I had already skimmed over. Talk about stress messing with my focus!

complexity bias
Complexity bias is a cognitive bias where individuals tend to favor complex explanations, theories, or solutions over simpler ones, even when the simpler ones are more likely to be correct or effective. This preference often stems from the belief that complex ideas are more sophisticated, intelligent, or thorough.
Whenever I ask my friends for advice on a simple problem, they always dive into some wild complexity bias, making everything sound way more complicated than it needs to be!
