yellow brick road apologetics 

Coined by Robert M. Price in "The Case Against The Case For Christ", derived from The Wizard of Oz.

Arguing for the truth of a controversial, often religiously significant claim by presupposing the truth of some other equally controversial claim.
"This is why, if apologists like William Lane Craig can get an opponent as far as admitting that Joseph of Arimathea probably did have Jesus interred in his own tomb, and if the women did probably visit the tomb, and that the tomb was probably found to be empty, he can press on to the conclusion that Bingo! Jesus must have risen from the dead! What they somehow do not see is that to argue thus is like arguing that the Emerald City of Oz must actually exist since, otherwise, where would the Yellow Brick Road lead?" -The Case Against The Case For Christ (p.209)

"The disciples clearly didn't hallucinate Jesus after the crucifixion since he allowed Thomas to poke his wounds and he shared bread with them. Simultaneous hallucinations involving multiple sensory modalities just don't happen."
"Yeah, that's just yellow brick road apologetics."

Yellow Light Game

A game played on the inside of a moving car in which any time the car is under a yellow traffic light (though some interpretations state that the yellow light only needs to be seen by any one or more of the passengers). After the presence of the yellow light is made known, all passengers must try to touch the ceiling of the car. The last individual to touch the ceiling of the car must remove one article of clothing of their choice. Please note that the driver may participate in the game, but any safety hazards resulting from the driver of a large vehicle trying to pull their shirt over their head are not the responsibility of the individual writing this definition.
Person 1: Yellow light!
(Persons 2-4 place their hands of the ceiling of the car)
Person 5: Dammit, I was texting!
Person 1: The yellow light game rules!

Yellow 5 

An ingredient in many foods and drinks, most popularly known to be in Mountain Dew, but can also be found in tic-tacs.

An Urban Myth states that this shrinks your testicles.

Not to be confused with Maroon 5.
Samantha: "Why are you drinking that Mountain Dew, don't you know it has Yellow 5 in it?"
Andrew: "Do you honestly think they would sell a product that shrinks your testicles and not even put a warning label on it, or even sell something like that at all?"
Samantha: "Oh... I never thought of it that way"

Yellow Love 

A curious journey towards love fostered by distance, age, experience, religion, and background. Often found sitting on benches in front of grocery facilities- drinking Arnold Palmers, questioning the existences of life and time. Their vitality teeters on the edge of reality. Periodically drifting in and out of waking life to endure the pains of longing.
They are dating at the hardest possible times in they're lives. They are too in love, but would prefer to be dating Candy Crowley or Larry King. They're into hummus, scrabble, and tongue fives- they have such yellow love! Obama 08!
