portrait 

A crafted photograph of an individual. The image must be an experience of the person telling a story and giving the viewer information about the person. Shopping mall photo stores rarely take the time to create a portrait. Those businesses make template shots of humans. They all look the same, but people are not!

A book that the girl "Yuri" reads you in the game Doki Doki Literature club, which is about said by Yuri in Act 1 "Basically, it's about this girl in high school who moves in with her long-lost sister... But as soon as she does so, her life gets really strange. She gets targeted by these people who escaped from a human experiment prison. But in Act 2 she says more and she has to say this "Basically, it's about this religious camp that was turned into a human experiment prison...

Paint your own portrait 

For a gentleman to attempt to cum in his own face...

Good luck and make sure the door is locked

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
