Lampshade 

Adjective

A word used for situations in media- mostly in comics and television- where the concerns, criticisms and arguments of the audience are answered in the text itself to assuage any disbelief and therefore frustration a reader or viewer might possess. By underscoring points of possible contention, usually humorously, the suspension of disbelief is retained.

Often used to account for implausible developments, ridiculous motivations, bizarre twists and illogical situations, a lampshade can also cover obviously cribbed plot elements by having the author acknowledge through a character that "This is just like..."

A lampshade can be used to explain threads that may have lain dormant, and often prods at the fourth wall by having characters address the audience, or realities outside their own existence.

Also known as Spotlighting, sometimes as 'Cousin Larry Trick'. See TVTropes for more information.

A girl who is full of brightness, In Arabic means: Brightness, and the girl is beautiful and VERY kind, so that when the girl does something mean (Maybe once 3 years or a lifetime, just an estimate) the people who experienced her mean thing glance in awe and are so taken aback, they are not believing this and take this as a joke, and the girl is GORGEOUS, so sometimes being too kind isn't too good, so when the girl does something mean, because she has to, she has to do it really mean, and serious, so the people take it seriously...
Person 1: Hi!
Girl, Lamisha: (Punches person 1, but a little light, but still meaning to be mean)
Person 2: Probably a j-joke don't worry...
Person 1: Yea, like a playful punch...
