Nostalgia goggles

A metaphor for someone viewing something in the past as much better than it actually was refusing to remember how bad something may have been.

People wearing nostalgia goggles usually wanna go back in time & live in a certain period again, forgetting everything wrong with that time period.

Nostalgia goggle users often prefer old crappy versions of TV shows & movies they grew up watching rather than the new & improved versions.

Ex 1: a Dragonball fan who grew up with the Ocean Dub that hates the Funimation dub for being different is wearing nostalgia goggles, refusing to admit the Funi dub is much more professional & authentic than the amateur sounding Ocean dub.

Ex 2: a woman who grew up watching My Little Pony who hates Friendship is Magic for being different has a bad case of nostalgia goggles.

Ex 3: an old person who thinks the 1950s were much better than the present day in every way & wishes to go back is wearing nostalgia goggles, forgetting that we had half the conveniences, technology, development, infrastructure, movies, etc we do today.

Old Russian: our motherland isnt what it used to be. I miss the Soviet Union & I think we should go back. Turn full communist again & take back the republics.
Normal Russian: I agree some things were better back then but take off the nostalgia goggles. We were like North Korea back then. This was a terrible place to live, we were just more unified & patriotic then.

giggle factor

the quality of arousing amusement, and scorn. A theory of science which appears too ridiculous to be seriously considered is said to have a “high giggle factor.”

Mr. Edison, you won't get past the giggle factor. No one believes you can make a machine talk!

Google Fart

A mental block of the search term one meant to query Google.

I stared at the screen as a google fart prevented me from typing.

Google Images

The only known way (thus far) to look are pornography on the internet, and not give your computer a crap ton of viruses in the process

Mike: Hey Fred, are you using Google Images?
Fred: No Mike! What makes you think that?
Mike: That glistening handkerchief on the floor gave you away dude...
