Sylvia Plath Effect 

From Kaufman (2001; Kaufman & Baer, 2002), a psychologist -- the Sylvia Plath Effect is the finding that female poets are more likely to commit suicide than any other kind of writer (male or female).
Perhaps one cause of the Sylvia Plath effect is that creative writing gatekeepers such as editors or teachers may unconsciously expect a quality poem written by a woman to be heartfelt and moving without holding similar expectations for a poem written by a man.

Sylvia-Plath-it 

Used when someone has had a bad day, to describe the severity of that bad day.

To have had such a shit-ass day they you could kill yourself. Specifically by means of putting your head in a gas oven.
My boy friend has been cheating on me for the past month, I am ready to Sylvia-Plath-it.

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)

"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
