bright flight
Bright flight is the sociologic and demographic term denoting a trend wherein everyone smart enough to realize there is nothing of value to be gained, economically or culturally, flees their community as the affluency of a geographic area decreases. Anyone able to contribute to advancing society will follow jobs and opportunities out of town, leaving a wasteland of mouth-breathers and neanderthals behind them.

bright light fright
Females who use default myspace/facebook pictures with a really bright flash to induce the illusion of being attractive in order to get guys to add them. The bright flash makes their skin tone look even, & hides any unsemetric flaws they may have (ie: acne, pot marks, gingervitas). In some cases it can even make the "fright" appear to be smaller in body class. The word "fright" settles in when you go to see the rest of her pictures.
