Frame-killer

A frame-killer is any action or element in a software that causes abnormal stress on the hardware, thus causing the frame rate of the application to visibly drop below normal levels for the duration of the action/element.

It is a common term used in video games, since there are usually commonly recurring elements across games that can cause the frame rate to undergo a visible drop. Such elements include explosions, fire, water, hair and fur, and various onscreen clutter.
Jordan: I love playing fire-based characters in video games, I just love watching flames and explosions because they're so pretty.

James: Ahh, so you like frame-killers.

Reach-Frame

Reach-frame (noun):
A term derived from the medical concept of "reframe," denoting the act of excessively attempting to reframe a situation with an overly optimistic perspective. It's the process of trying to see the bright side of everything, even when it might not be appropriate or realistic.
Example:
Person 1: "I just got fired from my job, but it's okay because now I have more time to focus on my hobbies and find a better opportunity!"
Person 2: "Whoa, don't reach-frame it too much. Losing your job is tough, it's okay to acknowledge that."
