Particle Accelerator Drone

An unmanned system combining a miniaturized particle accelerator with an aerial platform to create a mobile directed-energy weapon. Particle accelerator drones represent the extreme edge of speculative military technology—taking the physics of CERN and shrinking it to fit on a drone. The challenges are almost unimaginable: accelerators require powerful electromagnets, high-voltage systems, cooling, radiation shielding, and precise beam control. But the payoff is equally extreme: weapons that fire at near-light speed, penetrate deep into targets, and can adjust from non-lethal to destructive by turning a dial. Whether such systems exist in black budgets, remain decades away, or are fundamentally impossible is unknown—and that uncertainty is precisely what makes them so fascinating and frightening.

Example: "The drone was larger than usual, with unusual protrusions and thermal signature—consistent with a Particle Accelerator Drone, if such a thing could be built. The analyst couldn't confirm, but he couldn't dismiss it either, which meant someone, somewhere, was probably trying."

Lawless use of fonts or typography, with no regard to aesthetics or legibility

I'm putting this CV straight in the bin. Written totally sans sheriff.

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."

Stroad

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!
