a lionel 

a lionel blair - stare. Referring to the 'cut you dead' stare that an angry Lionel Blair shot the disguised Noel Edmunds whilst being set up on for a 'gotcha' on Noels's House Party show.
He turned to his missus after coming out of the supermarket, having been given a filthy look by some old dear for pawing the melons for freshness....''Did you see her giving me a Lionel?''

Four Red Bull's and a Lonely Night 

A term used to talk about how fast you're gonna masturbate tonight
Hey, four Red Bull's and a lonely night amirite?

a lonely lighthouse

a polite version of severe paranoia.
a person (most likely a female) who often feels deeply alone and dismissed for no reason whatsoever, usually only because of the sheer fear. this drives her to the road of insanity and misinterpretaion of the reality. usually winds up saying bad things she does not really think and pushing away people she really likes. she therefore ends up with the instant feeling of guilt, regret and - paradoxically- truly alone.

the lighthouse reffers to the state of mind- a person is so closed within, so self-centered and emotionall that is also extremaly crazy, overthinking and overanalizing in addition.

no one can really stay around the lighthouse too long without getting furious and mad.
- so man, wanna date the friend that I introduced to you?
- I don't know bro, she seems such a lonely lighthouse, those girls are crazy as sh**.

A lonely wank in a Travelodge 

You at the end of the day when the gig has finished and all the pretty girls have gone home with their handsome boyfriends to have it off and you're in a cheap Travelodge hotel room all lonely and trying to imagine yourself with those girls by having it off with yourself (masturbating). Sadly, it rarely helps the situation and you end up more depressed than before.
The gig has ended and all the pretty girls have gone home with their boyfriends and I'm here having a lonely wank in a Travelodge. So depressing.
