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.
Kuwabara: OH MY GOD!

Yusuke: What?

Kuwabara: That's the fastest i've ever lost a boner.

Yusuke: What are you talking abou.... AHHH.

Kuwabara: I know right? look at her default.

Yusuke: BRIGHT LIGHT FRIGHT!
