Lady Macbeth

An unpleasant, cruel, or maliciously insane woman. The female incarnation of Evil Itself.

Often used to refer to female math teachers.

Taken from the the unpleasant character in Shakespeare's Macbeth.
Student: Who do you have for math next semester?
Friend: Mrs. Whitman, you?
Student: Roberts. Wait--Did you say Whitman?
Friend: Yeah, why?
Student: Watch out, man. She's like freaking Lady Macbeth.

barrel of laughs 

An unfunny or annoying person.

The term was originally used to refer to a funny person or situation, but is used sarcastically so often that the original meaning is all but lost.

Similar to laugh riot.
Yeah, he's a regular barrel of laughs. Shoot me, please.
An item, into one of which you should not put all your eggs.
Margo: A tisket, a tasket, I lost my yellow basket...
Alice: Did you have all your eggs in it?
Margo: Yes.
Alice: ...Damn.

shock value 

The only value in filthy, disgusting, violent, or obscene materials in the media (television shows, movies, online forums, etc.). Ironically, these things have become so common that even the shock value is gone, leaving their existence pointless and the masses desensitised (or disgusted).

The reason half the definitions on UD exist.
You can't show that on television! Oh, wait, nevermind.

bicurious 

Label a pubescent girl affixes to herself in order to appear sexually trendy.

Of all non-heterosexual "orientations," bicurious has the fewest long-lasting repercussions and is therefore adopted by girls who wish to appear different or exciting to males their age.

Bicurious girls are not interested in females (if they were, they would actually call themselves lesbian or bisexual); instead, they wish to attract young men who find the prospect of potential girl-on-girl action incredibly hot.

To be fair, the term is also used by lesbian and bisexual girls who are still uncomfortable with their sexuality, or who are testing the waters before coming out to their friends or family.
Trina: Sally, I... want to tell you something.
Sally: What is it, hon?
Trina: Well... I like you.
Sally: Oh my God, you're a lesbian?
Trina: No!
Sally: ...you're bisexual?
Trina: Well, not exactly.
Sally: So... what are you?
Trina: I'm bicurious.
Sally: Oh, you're a trendwhore.

To aggressively or enthusiastically hug someone, often with a running start.

Can be used as a noun or a verb.

Text usage is similar to glomp, but without the fangirl stigma.
Even between friends, this exchange comes off as creepy and overenthusiatic:

persondude: yo
animefangirl: SQUEEEEEEE! *glomp!*

The second person in this conversation, on the other hand, maintains a small level of dignity or reserved coolness:

persondude: hey
cooliochika: *tacklehugs*
