A word used to end a conversation in which a participant 'went too far' in a subject, anecdote or shared joke.

For instance, a member of the group may divulge certain graphic details of a sexual encounter. This can often lead to a dumbfounded silence in which the group will try to shrug off the lurid fantasies and visions.
At this point, someone must interject with a well-timed '...imagery'. This dispels any tension that may have gathered, and allows the group to laugh it off, before regaining their previous banter form.

It is at this point that i must point out that this word cannot be used by females, as their grasp on banter and comic timing are dreadful.

The word imagery must be articulated with 4 syllables, and must be said slowly and with a sarcastic intonation : im-ag-er-y.

This word can also be used in conjunction with a joke that has been taken too far :
...imagery

Modeable Imagery 

The type of imagery that comes from the summation of using a whole slew of modes with molding. The following equation explains the definition:

(sum 0 to N Mode) + Moldable = Modeable.

The most notable (modeable) example is Dustin Hoffman's teeth in the movie Hook. If you're confused, ask yourself, "How do they make Dustin's teeth look so real, with the gapping and disgusting yellow tint?" and you'll get this word as the answer.
Hoffman: Yo Dustin, why are your teeth so argy-bargy?

Dustin: Simply because of Modeable Imagery--a new technique being implemented, especially for special effects in movies.

Hoffman: Splash idea!
