John Walker Effect 

First coined by Twitter user @buggy_con, the John Walker Effect is when in any form of media the writers unintentionally make the antagonist characters

-Far more entertaining
-Far more believable as characters
-More sympathetic

-More heroic than the stale and downright evil protagonists/heroes

Typically you will see the writers project all the things they view as evil onto these characters in order to make a straw man to pit against their oh so perfect protagonists. However, this unintentionally causes these characters to be loved by the audience, for they are the only ones who

-Call out the protagonists' bullshit for what it is
-Have actual ideas and motivations that aren't selfish

These characters often have to be amped up to cartoonish levels of evil in order to try and make the audience root against them.

Rorschach from Watchmen, Tyler Durden from Fight Club, and Colonel Quaritch from Avatar are all examples of villains that suffer from the John Walker Effect.

John Walker Effect 

Coined by Twitter user @buggy_con, the John Walker Effect is when in any form of media, the writers unintentionally make the antagonist characters

-Far more entertaining
-Far more believable as characters
-More sympathetic

-More heroic than the stale and downright evil protagonists/heroes

Typically you will see the writers project all the attributes they view as evil onto these characters in order to make a straw man to pit against their oh so perfect heroes. However, this unintentionally causes these characters to be beloved by the audience (or at least a section of the audience who believe that the ideas they embody are good), for they are the only ones who

-Call out the protagonists' bullshit for what it is
-Have actual ideas and motivations that aren't selfish
-In some way or other represent the ideal of the ideology they embody (since a writer cannot tear down an idea without first building it up)

Oftentimes these characters have to be amped up to cartoonish levels of evil in order to try and make the audience root against them, which usually does not end up working and in some cases just makes the audience love them more.

Rorschach from Watchmen, Tyler Durden from Fight Club, and Colonel Quaritch from Avatar are all examples of villains that suffer from the John Walker Effect.

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".

A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.

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.

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."
