dish douche 

One who never washes the dishes, even though he or she always offers to wash the dishes. A dish douche will mysteriously disappear as soon as dinner is eaten, and return to the kitchen once the last saucer has been dried and put away.
Pete hasn't scrubbed a single plate in his life. If you added up all the unwashed dishes in this dish douche's life, you could cast a shadow over Manhattan.

glower of power

The act of bugging your eyes out to stare down an adversary, opponent or underling. When properly executed, the glower of power mentally disarms and destroys self esteem. It basically says you own them.
The meter maid started to write a parking ticket. I turned my gaze toward her and gave her the glower of power. She dropped her pen, quaking in her boots, and ran away.

Los Angelitis 

A disorder in which one loses the ability to hear what anyone else has to say - because their own self important inner monologue drowns out everything else.
Damon drummed his fingers impatiently while his girlfriend talked about her dying grandmother. He couldn't wait for her to finish, so he could talk about how huge his glutes had become. Because he had Los Angelitis, all he could hear was his own voice.
