Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier

Someone slow, dimwitted or stupid - another way of saying "Not the sharpest knife in the drawer". Also, someone who stands out in a crowd as being particularly unintelligent.

Mr.Brightside

1) To always look for the positive in life.
2) To want somebody so bad that it drills your mind night and day. The desire can be much more intense when you realize that the two of you could never work due to distance, people, place, etc. Inspired by The Killers song.
1)Even after I crashed my car into the exit ramp, and my insurance turned down my claim, the fact that nobody got hurt made me feel like Mr.Brightside.

2)When I heard about her Friday night hookup, my inner Mr.Brightside realized there was nothing I could do from across the country.
