A tall tale told by an individual where 100% of the content is total poppycock.
I heard an awesome BRIGHTISM today. This guy at the gym said he unleashed a colony of centipedes in his house to take care of the spider problem.

Brightism

The phenomenon in which a person hears someone's voice so much that they begin to imagine things in that voice.

Named after Kevan Brighting, the voice of the Narrator from "The Stanley Parable".
"I've played the Stanley Parable so much, that now whenever I'm reading, I imagine the Narrator's voice saying the words."
"Sounds like you've got Brightism."

Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier

Someone slow, dimwitted or stupid - another way of saying "Not the sharpest knife in the drawer". Also, someone who stands out in a crowd as being particularly unintelligent.
Marisa: Why does Eric even bother talking in class - he has no idea what he's talking about.

Michael: What do you expect? I mean he's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier!

Mr.Brightside

1) To always look for the positive in life.
2) To want somebody so bad that it drills your mind night and day. The desire can be much more intense when you realize that the two of you could never work due to distance, people, place, etc. Inspired by The Killers song.
1)Even after I crashed my car into the exit ramp, and my insurance turned down my claim, the fact that nobody got hurt made me feel like Mr.Brightside.

2)When I heard about her Friday night hookup, my inner Mr.Brightside realized there was nothing I could do from across the country.

mr brightside

Mr Brightside or a Brightside is someone who is jealous of another person who is with the person they want. This is taken from The Killers' song Mr Brightside.
"And I'm falling asleep, and shes calling a cab, while he's having a smoke, and she's takin' a drag, now they're goin' to bed, and my stomach is sick, and its all in my head but she's touching his ... chest now, he takes off her dress, now LET ME GO"

"Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibi, but its just the price I pay, destiny is calling me, open up my eager eyes, cause I'm Mr Brightside"
