Guru Goggles

Noun. Guru Goggles are not physical. They are metaphorical, and refer to the way in which people become devoted to a charismatic authority figure (like a guru). It refers to the level of intensity to which people become focused on, or attracted to, a guru, beyond anything else; which relate to spiritual bypassing and pathological altruism. The harder someone is attached to a guru, the stronger, we can say, the prescription of their guru goggles, is.
The prescription of his "guru goggles" is too strong. He can't see that the guy is a really bad. No matter what you say, he won't change his mind.

freshman goggles

Similar to beer goggles. When you are a freshman (in high school or college) and everyone you meet is new and exciting, you think that people (especially of the opposite sex) are attractive, nice and/or interesting when they're actually aggressively mediocre in hindsight. Although this phenomenon is worst in high school freshmen and can actually lead to mistakes that impact the rest of one's high school life, upon acceptance to college the high school senior immediately forgets everything they learned not to do and proceeds to make the same mistakes as a college freshman (although freshman goggles usually fade within a month or two in college, while a high school freshman may wear their goggles for the entire year).
September, high school senior: "Ugh, Rafael is coming back for alumni day this week. I really don't want to see him again."
Emma, high school senior: "I can't believe you actually liked him."
September: "I had freshman goggles. I can't believe I was ever that stupid. By the way, have I told you about Dylan?"
Emma: "No?"
September: "Yeah, I met him online! We both got into the same program at X University. This is him. He's cute, isn't he? We talk like every day and we're making plans to meet up before school starts and..."
Emma: "And the cycle continues."

bystander Google-search

Humorous term to describe where you "publicly" solicit the knowledge ("Excuse me, everyone --- do any of you happen to know anything about ___?", or, ""Hey, Folks --- are any of you familiar with the technical properties of ___?") of anyone within yelling-distance about a particular question or problem that you encounter at that time and place.
Doing a bystander Google-search can yield surprising results --- more than once I have gotten out of a perplexing dilemma in this way.
