Randhawa Light-Box 

A large wooden or cardboard box with a different design cut into each side. A light is placed inside in order to create patterned shadows. The Randhawa Light-Box is usually used on very low budget film sets with simple lighting kits. Some contain coloured gels. Named for its creator, a Canadian filmmaker.
That wall looks awfully plain, use the Randhawa Light-Box to cast a shadow.

lightbox 

An emergent theory of space-time in which the speed of the fastest phenomenon is limited by the aggregate amount of the material in the universe, material has no discrete point of origin, and space is infinitely large.

Stipulates that any "fastest" phenomenon in the universe ie. light must have a discrete origin point.

Argues that in contrast to approaching the speed of light requiring all the material in the universe, achieving infinite speed requires no mass at all and would cause linear time to stand completely still.

Posits that the universe moves infinitely fast outside of itself obviating the existence of other universes ie. outside of the universe it is eternally now.
Lightbox argues that there are two obverses but there is only one inverse.

Eternity leave 

When some resigns or retires from a job, they are on "eternity leave". This can also refer to someone who has passed away, especially someone who worked somewhere for a long time, retired/resigned, then passed away later.
Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.

girl grip 

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.
I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.
