Aug 11 Word of the Day
A phrase to describe someone who is cognitively degenerating. Synonym of "going off the deep end". Can have varying degrees of severity.

Reference to the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. The line "and the worms ate into his brain" makes no sense in an otherwise linear and literal narration throughout the lyrics.
"My boyfriend has a total case of brain worms. He told me the cat was bugged so the Feds could listen in on us having sex..."

or

"You totally stumbled over that entire sentence. Can't speak English all of a sudden? What, do you have brain worms?"

To find and use an image or video to "unsee" something (or certain media) that was highly disturbing.

"Palate" can also refer to the eyes in which looking at something is like "tasting".
Man, that repulsive image triggered me so much that I had to use a Palate Cleanser to get over that.

Girl: When you say "Palate Cleanser" when you refer to watching something, you mean, the eyes?

Friend: Yes.
