lived experience 

Shit that never happened. By making up lurid tales designed to go viral activist types can spin a history of oppression in any scene, org, or society. Lived experience discounts subjectivity or just being wrong and is usually brought up after someone's claims have been debunked.

It can also refer to existential problems you do nothing about but blame others for: being poor, living in a ghetto shithole, being an addict, etc.

Like a lot of SJW jargon it was stolen from the CATT team where it refers to a failed suicide attempt in post intervention care.
"I got totally discriminated against by the racists and sexists at the lesbian vegan co-op"
"I was there and that didn't happen"
"Shut up and stop denying my lived experience"

Lived experience 

And you hyper-fixate on it because you (to some extent) don't have an articulated or particularized self. How much of you actually identity is tied up in locality? "I went to this school and did this job." And I know how it's supposed to work. I'm supposed to infer from that based on the quality of the school and your occupation and I'm supposed to allow THAT INFERENCE to lend credence to the things you say or do... But it doesn't. Those are coordinates. That doesn't mean anything to anyone who isn't willing to pretend with you.
Hym "And my lived experience is more unique than yours. Imposed schizophrenia... Publicly embarrassed a mainstream intellectual... Pretty sure I started a labor movement. The auto worker guy quoted me except he replaced 'Retard' with 'Asshole.' So, you're welcome for that. I'm like an executive producer with an immaculate track-record. And what have you actually done? Nothing. You're contestant number 6# on a reality show and you know a guy."

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.

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