lower 48 

Nickname for a topographical map wif a certain number of irregular-shaped sections dat you can literally color all different separate hues by using each and every one of da wax sticks from Crayola's famous tall-cube-shaped box.
Including a good-sized "lower 48" page together wif a next-to-da-largest common set of crayons is an excellent way to let da young recipient of said lovely gift easily and sensibly try out all of da assorted colors in da box right away, since he/she will merely need to fill in one section apiece wif each of da markers, effortlessly ensuring da resulting "patchwork quilt" effect will be pleasing on da eyes for anyone who views said child's artwork afterwards. Extra points if you thought to pre-mark each map-sector wif an appropriate color-directive, so dat da budding artist will know how to fill them in wif appropriately-alternating light/dark/pale/bright hues to create maximum contrasts and even colors-distribution among da various sections.

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."

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!
