High Frequency (HF) 

Frequencies between 3 MHz and 30 MHz (3 Mega Hertz and 30 Mega Hertz). Used by governments, ships, radio stations and amateur radio operators.
I decided to use the High Frequency (HF) radio last night and try my luck at reaching Japan.

Playing the high frequencies 

An idiom used to describe the moment of downturn for a previously successful enterprise/musician/actor etc. A clear, defining point which, when reached, means nothing will be the same again.

Similar to 'Jumping the Shark' or 'Nuking the Fridge'.

From Loud Reed and his wife staging a high frequency dog concert ("an inter-species social gathering").....
Yeah man, they were really playing the high frequencies that time.

Stink lines

As seen in illustrations or cartoons: Wavy, vertical lines rising above a person, place or thing. Denotes a foul odor.
"You didn't put enough stink lines on your picture of the teacher."

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.
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.

*Looks up images of puppies and kittens.*
"That's good eye bleach."

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!
