Doing the Cheno 

The act of copying the distinctive vocal and acting style of popular Broadway performer Kristin Chenoweth. This may involve a quirky and/or squeaky character voice, playing a role as ditzy or flighty regardless of whether there is textual basis for such an interpretation, using the upper vocal range for comedic effect, etc. Young sopranos often resort to doing the Cheno out of inexperience, as an easy way to make an impact and sell a performance in the absence of the ability to interpret a role in a more mature fashion or to develop and apply the true potential of the soprano voice.
Thelma: Did you enjoy the local high school's production of Oklahoma! last weekend?
Louise: Yes, but the girl who played Laurey was weak. She just did the Cheno the whole time.

Drama Teacher: I'm so proud of the progress you have made as an actress since freshman year.
Senior: Thanks! I can't believe I used to think doing the Cheno was a strong choice!

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.
Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
