Invisible Pink Unicorn 

A supernatural creature whose existence can not be demonstrated, but for which certain facts are nevertheless asserted (if it's invisible, how do you know it's pink?).

Apparently orginating on the alt.athiest usenet group as a way to either argue the existence of God with non-athiests without getting personal, or mock them relentlessly. Sometimes shortened to IPU.
We know the Invisible Pink Unicorn exists, because no matter how hard hard we look we can't see her.

Invisible Pink Unicorn Bias

A form of cognitive bias where any socially constructed concept—a nation, a legal system, a currency, a cultural norm—is treated as if it were as arbitrarily interchangeable as the Invisible Pink Unicorn (IPU) of satirical theology. The bias consists of dismissing the reality or significance of social constructs by reductively equating them to any other construct, claiming that because both are “made up,” they are equally fictional or equally arbitrary. For example, replacing “NATO” with “the Kingdom of Abzu” in an argument about geopolitics, and then treating the serious analysis as absurd because the substitute is obviously made up. The bias ignores that social constructs have material effects, histories, institutional weight, and differential power—not all constructs are equivalent just because none exist in a pre-social vacuum.
Invisible Pink Unicorn Bias Example: “He dismissed national borders as just ‘invisible pink unicorns’—as if the fact that they’re socially constructed meant they had no real consequences at border crossings, citizenship, or war.”

The Invisible Pink Unicorn 

The Invisible Pink Unicorn is the goddess of a satiric parody religion aimed at theistic beliefs, which takes the form of a unicorn that is paradoxically both invisible and pink... imagine that.
The Invisible Pink Unicorn is commonly used to highlight the perceived fallacious or arbitrary nature of supernatural beliefs by, for example, replacing the word "god" in any theistic statement with "Invisible Pink Unicorn".

eye bleach 

Looking or experiencing something nice after witnessing something horrid like a disgusting gif or a disturbing video. Typically used as eye bleach are nice images of whatever makes the disturbed person happy.
"Bleach my eyes! Why is that woman's face ripped off!?"
*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!
