single-strobe light-flick

Refers to a "consideration for sleepers" action whereby --- in order to briefly look at something from the doorway of a pitch-dark room in which you know that one or more other humans are seeking a little shut-eye --- you first open up your own eyelids extra-wide to allow yourself maximum visibility, and then perform a super-quick "on-off" action (one-half-second at the absolute maximum) with the room's light-switch, so that you are able to check on whatever you needed to know (such as that there is nothing on the floor between you and the sleeper's bed, and thus you can safely tiptoe forward in the dark and crawl in with the slumberer without tripping), but minimize the disturbance of the sleepy person(s) by not having the ceiling-lamp lit long enough for him to even be much aware of it.
Considerate dude who's staying overnight at his girlfriend's apartment: I always use the "single-strobe light-flick" prior to re-joining Tiffany in her bed after I visit the Little Boys' Room during the night, just to make sure that neither of her cats has decided to stretch itself out on the floor of the bedroom. It avoids any unexpected "yowls in the dark", plus Tiffany tells me that she seldom even notices my brief room-illuminations, so that's a good thing.

Idiot light

A lighted indicator on your car's dashboard that appears when you are getting dangerously low on fuel. It is a little red dot that lights up next to the E on your gas gauge. Where it lights up on the dashboard, the amount of gas that is left in your gas tank, and how far you can drive before running out of gas is different for each car make/model. It is called an idiot light because you are an idiot if you don't get more gas, or you're an idiot for letting your gas go so low.
Oh no, my idiot light just came on. I have just enough gas to get to my destination, but I'll have to get gas on the way home.
