Yamshahhar

An Arabic phrase used mainly in the Lebanon as a reaction when receiving news about a very bad incident (death, accident, ..), or as an exaggeration to a not-so-bad incident, like when kids break something or ruin the place.
It's usually used by mothers and elderly women.

Words used in phrase:
Sh'har: Is the black dirt one gets when s/he touches charcoal or the bottom of a dirty cooking pot or pan.
Mshahhar (mas.)/Mshahhara (fem.): Is a person whose face has been smudged with Sh'har (the black dirt)
Ya: O. Used in Arabic to call upon someone; e.g. O Man, where are you? O Alex, where did you hide my book?

So Yamshahhar, literally means "Oh you whose face is smudged with black dirt!"

Background:
In the old days, when someone passed away, his/her close relatives (especially women; mother, wife, sister..) would smear their face(s) with black dirt coming from charcoal or the bottom of cooking pots. This was to show extreme sadness about what had befallen them.
With time the phrase Yamshahhar/Yamshahhara became used to express extreme feelings of shock and sadness about a bad incident, though the act of smudging ones face stopped. Now, this phrase is usually used by the elderly, especially women, although most people who use it do not know the meaning of the words or why it is coined like this (like many idioms in Arabic and other languages).
A kid was in a car accident. His mum entered the hospital shouting: Yamshahhara
As the news arrived that the man passed away, his wife shouted: Yamshahhara
The kid arrived home with dirt all over his clothes. The mother said: Yamshahhar, what did you do?
The kid went to the shop an bought too many sweets. As he enters his home, his mother exclaims: Yamshahhar, why did you get all of that?
As their connecting flight was just cancelled. Mohammed asked George: Yamshahhar, what are we going to do now?

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Nerd neck 

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
