head clutcher 

Stock images trotted out by busy picture editors to illustrate pieces with a mental health angle, consisting of a person in lonely isolation typically with their head in their hands.

Such images reinforce a stereotypical view of how people living with mental ill-health should appear at all times (and if we don't, we must be fakers and shirkers) and that we are sad, hopeless cases beyond help.
"BBC News - #Mentalhealth and the death of the '#headclutcher' picture"

"Would be great if Morning Star could avoid using #headclutcher photos tho!!"

"Great article. Shame about the head clutcher cliche image"

"Love this. Quick voxpop of room and people agree that stigmatising images of young people clutching their head or disheveled should not be posted online and included in new chatsafe guidelines"

"#headclutcher alert"

"There she is! It's the original #headclutcher woman, dedged up by @BBCNewsNI from the depths of ancient Press Association stock pics! Bless. Psst, you might wanna take a look at free online #mentalhealth picture library, #GetThePicture from @TimetoChange for something a bit more up to date!"

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.
I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.

eye bleach 

Looking or experiencing something nice after witnessing something horrid like a disgusting gif or a disturbing video. Typically used as eye bleach are nice images of whatever makes the disturbed person happy.
"Bleach my eyes! Why is that woman's face ripped off!?"
*Looks up images of puppies and kittens.*
"That's good eye bleach."

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.
Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
