Vulgar nostalgia
When people idealize a time in their lives, while ignoring major problems and anxieties they faced back then that even felt inescapable to them at the time.
Person 1: Man, I wish it was 2010 again!
Person 2: (While recalling the three messy breakups Person 1 had - two of which they were completely reasonable about and still suffered for months each) What makes you say that?
Person 1: Life was so much simpler and I had like, no problems I couldn't just fix!
Person 2: I guess time away from problems changes your perspective, lest we acknowledge our vulgar nostalgia...

Like the Picture Not the Link
Something people on Facebook used to say in 2010 after posting a picture or pictures, as Facebook would make a post with the user's personalized message showing off the picture(s) that had separate likes from the actual picture(s), whose thumbnail image a user had to click or press on individually to like.
Message of Facebook User posting a picture on Facebook, circa 2010 AD: Like the picture not the link hoesss <3333 lolzers lolzomg

Fucknut
A person who does things like take a great story to television with an unlimited budget and choose to use less than offered to slowly liquidate the universe of that story over the years and ruin everything (i.e. David Benioff or D.B. Weiss).
David Benioff is a fucknut. D.B. Weiss is a fucknut. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are both fucknuts.
Louis's Law
As the duration of a film set grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Harvey Weinstein (if not jokingly) approaches 1.
Coined by a Mr. Louis of the CUNY Brooklyn College Film Department based on his observations of others on different sets.
Like Godwin's Law for film sets.

*On a film set, Person 1 walks by brushes against Person 2*
Person 2: Hey, don't touch me!
Person 3 (to Person 1): Are you trying to be Harvey Weinstein or something?
Person 1: Now hold on a sec...
Person 4: This sounds like a cheap, lazy example of "Louis's Law".
