refrigerator thought

After just returning home from the movies, you stand at the fridge deciding what to eat since the movie popcorn didn't really
constitute dinner. With the fridge door open, you puzzle through the movie's plot points, and there is a disconnect in
the storyline, some pivot point that says to you, "Screenwriter( or author) took me for a ride." It's when you scowl and realize
you've been had. It's when a plot point is so contrived or unbelievable that it insults the reader's / viewer's intelligence.

Occurs mostly frequently in movie sequels, romance novel series, and television drama series that seek to continue the money-making franchise.

Related to: "jump the shark," "pin the plausibility meter," "eyeroll." Shorter versions: "fridge it," "faceplant," "as if," "bin it.'
"Yep, my refrigerator thought? Nah, no way Jason Bourne could NOT have figured that out.."
"What a refrigerator thought! Not a chance that Corinne Giroux could have been fourth months pregnant and not know. "
"Yeah, fridge this 'Charlie Tango' crash in the "Fifty Shades.."series? Christian Grey's operation tracked down Ana via her cell phone to that bar in a matter of minutes. Not a chance that none of Grey's highly-paid security wizards could track down Charlie Tango? Seriously, even I can track a plane/helicopter via publicly-available websites, e.g., FlightAware, if you know the its tail number?"

Thought Brisket

A "thought brisket" refers to the mental process of slow-cooking an idea or concept, allowing it to fully develop over time. Just as smoking a brisket requires patience, attention, and gradual transformation to reach its full flavor, a "thought brisket" involves giving yourself space to reflect, ruminate, and let the complexities of an idea settle before reaching a final understanding or decision. It's about letting thoughts simmer so that they can mature into something richer and more nuanced.
"I’m not ready to make a decision on that yet; I need to let it turn into a thought brisket and really slow-cook before I know the right approach."

anxietal thoughts

When you (see) or (hear) something so (disturbing) it drives you into a (never ending) spiral of anxiety
Seeing myfriend Zoe make disturbing faces at me gave me loads of anxietal thoughts.

Pot Thought

One of those crazy thoughts that pops into your head when you're stoned out.
Stoned Guy 1 "Dude, we should turn this couch into a spaceship and go to the moon."

Stoned Guy 2 "We might find ALIENS, man!"

Not Stoned Guy "Dude, what a pot thought."

intrusive sex thoughts

It’s like I have hyperactive libido ramped up to 1000x. Sex dominates my thoughts every waking moment of every day. Masterbation helps for all of 5 minutes then it’s back on. Obviously I’m addicted to porn as it helps me masterbate more often to calm the unending torrents, but I’ve been trying really hard to quit as it’s so bad for my mental health and the way I see women, and my hyperactive libido has gotten so much worse. I can’t find any outlet for it at all; nothing I try can make it just stop.
