Droppler Effect 

The weary jaded feeling of "letdown" that one usually experiences after a much-anticipated event (such as a talent-concert or other much-hyped cultural bash, dinner-date, "important" business meeting, etc.) which turns out to be significantly less satisfying or worthwhile than had been expected or hoped for. So, like the "Doppler Effect" that is heard as a noisy vehicle zooms by (the sound of the jalopy's engine is higher as it bears down on your position and then drops drastically in pitch as it rushes headlong into the distance), one's mood and emotions suffer a similar "roller-coaster" or "sugar-crash" journey... you are all keyed up and excited beforehand with your heartbeat going a-mile-a-minute as you eagerly anticipate the looked-forward-to event, and then afterwards you feel disappointed and exhausted, with your whole being slowed into a state of draggy disillusionment.

brain-power 

A helpful force exerted against one's shoulder-blades by a caring and stronger friend when trudging up steep hills or proceeding toward/going through with socially-intimidating meetings/interviews; it consists of leaning over forward and pushing the infirm/weary person along with one's head.
Cool dude #1: I don’t feel brave enough to go over and ask Tiffany for a date --- I’m such a stuttering dork around pretty girls!
Cool dude #2: Come on, Buddy; I’ll be behind you all the way --- here’s some brain-power to see you through.

Land 'o' Lakes Girl 

Defines a type of situation, object of art, etc. that involves something that endlessly repeats itself and/or recedes into infinity, just like the picture on the butter-box held by the lady on the Land 'o' Lakes dairy products label.
Cool guy #1, standing with his friend in a mirrored elevator that creates a multiple line of reflections: Jeez, dude --- talk about easy cloning! Scaryyyyy...!
Cool guy #2: Word, dude --- lucky for us it's just the Land 'o' Lakes Girl effect.
Land 'o' Lakes Girl by QuacksO November 13, 2011
An acronym used as a “time out” or “let’s change the subject” protest on Instant Messenger. Stands for TOO MUCH INFORMATION, indicating that the speaker feels personally violated by his chat buddy’s latest message, probably because it contains details that are either too personal (i.e.: sexual, medically-private, describing one’s deeply-rooted fantasy, etc.) or are of the type that would likely turn one’s stomach, being revolting, gory, or otherwise overly graphic.
Online guy #1: I felt sick yesterday after a “hot’n’heavy” session with my plump new co-worker, so I had to have my stomach pumped, and the contents examined. There were some residues of lipstick, but at least there were no weevils.
Online guy #2: Uhhhhggggghhh… TMI, dude

Armstrong starter

CB radio jargon for the old hand-crank-start automobile engines. A clever "play on words", using the common last name "Armstrong" as if it is the name of the crank-device's inventor, when in fact one truly does need "strong arms" to operate it.
Guy #1: Will your wife get to drive your restored flivver in the parade this afternoon?
Guy #2: Yeah, but I have to run back home first and get it going for her --- it's got an Armstrong starter.
