shot out of the tip of a lighting bolt

a vivid, metaphorical way to describe something happening with great speed, force, or intensity. It conjures the image of a lightning bolt—a natural phenomenon known for its sudden, powerful, and swift strike—emphasizing the speed, impact, or suddenness of the action being described. This expression is widely known to have originated from ice bath enthusiast and health guru Duncan Bernath.

It is often used to dramatize how quickly or forcefully something occurs, likening it to the speed and power of lightning.

"After this 5 minute ice bath, it feels like I just got shot out of the tip of a lightning bolt"
"Dude, I know!! Such a good, flames, feeling!"

This feels a little light

When someone gives you a bag of groceries and it feels like there's a few things missing because the bag feels a little light. So you go back to get the rest of the groceries. When someone hands you speed (Amphetamine, Ethylamphetamine) after you paid money and the gram of speed feels a little light more like two thirds of a gram to three quarters of a gram. So you weigh it and demand the rest, and they give you more. Or if you're buying 5 dollars of cheddar cheese and it feels more like 3 or 4 dollars of cheddar cheese so you ask for more. When you're in college studying organic chemistry, mathematics, history, geology, and you forgot a book because the bookbag feels a little light. When you make money selling coffee and the stack of money they pay you feels a little light today. When you ask a friend for half the energy drink and they only give you a third and you say this feels a little light, so they pour more. It means it's not enough or something is missing.

Tony: You got the 40 of those 100mg Flodafinil pills.

Steve: Sure.

Tony: *Hands money.
Steve: *Hands Flodafinil pills.

Tony: This feels a little light! Are you jacking me?!
Steve: Hands over the 3 he was taking from Tony that he planned to do later.
