Internet Monet 

When you see someone's profile picture thumbnail and you think they're OK, but when you click on it, it's a big old mess. Named after the artist Monet, whose paintings were nice from far away, but jacked up looking up close.

I thought this heina would be fine, but when I opened up her facebook page, she turned out to be an Internet Monet, cause her close up was fug!

cache monet 

cash money or cash mo nay
- in the world of business, what we are after
especially used on Martha's Vineyard to induce PAB to payup their money to us (the green mechanical Contractor)

Sung to the tune of "Bingo was his name O" this is the cache monet song:
C, A, C H E,
M, O, N E T,
that, sounds, good to me
that spells cash mo nay!

Don't, be, a PAB,
give, me, my money,
that, sounds, good to me,
that spells cash mo nay!

Full on monet 

When someone or something is a full on monet they are pretty from far away but ugly from up close

EX: someone seems nice or pretty but is not a very nice person(vice versa)

the saying comes from the ICONIC movie Clueless

Cher—who is pretty much like "as if"—tells her, "She's a full-on Monet," and Tai is all, like, definition please, so Cher elaborates, saying "It's like a painting, see. From far away it's okay, but up close it's a big ol' mess."

Full on monet means that someone is pretty from far away but ugly from up close.
