Words you can keep

I can see through your eyes 

A quiet expression of intimacy, shared when one can see through the eyes of another. Synchronicity of vision, across miles, between two people who have never met.
"I can see through your eyes", he said silently. So far away, she could hear him.

Talking Through Your Arse 

This is slang from the UK although it is used in Australia as well and can be used in number ways:
1 To make a foolish statement;
2 To talk nonsense or rubbish;
3 To say something which is quite obviously false;
4 To exaggerate your abilities or knowledge of a subject;
5 To bluff or boast about something;
6 To be a self-aggrandising twat;
“Malcolm just tried out a total load of bollocks on me; I told him straight, you’re talking through your arse.”

the throngler 

A powerful blade, feared by all. The Throngler is a might blade, forged from the strongest throngonium that the universe could supply. Those unfortunate enough to be on the reciving end of The Throngler become throngled, a state of being in intense pain, and completely paralyzed.
Dark King Grûtmore's Edge of Annihilation implies other Dark Kings with other Edges of Annihilation, but there is only one way to get throngled.

the throngler is a weapon of mass destruction

I really don’t need no light to see through you 

I really don’t need no light to see through you. — A brutal way to tell someone that they are absolutely transparent. This idiom entered popular culture in 1982 as a result of the quite danceable late disco track by the same name sung by vocalist Jeffery Osborne.

A useful insult in an age of MAGA Republicanism.

A more contemporary version of this is insult is the more versatile “I see you” — which can either be an insult or a statement of deep connection and engagement.
When Dolt 45 says that if he’s elected he will be MAGA’s retribution, I’ll just say this: I really don’t need no light to see through you, Donnie.

The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it. 

The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it. — A faux positive statement to lighten a heinous situation that will stick with you for the rest of your life.
1) Police homicide photographer documenting the scene of a mass shooting at an American high school:

Well let’s go: The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it.

2) Family cleaning out a closet after the death of a loved one:

Well let’s go: The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it.

3) An American citizen voting for president in the 2024 election that will determine the destiny of our democracy:

Well let’s go: The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it.

This and other techniques like this are taught in cults and at Harvard University. No, I’m not kidding Harvard has a Hap-y-ness Studies Program. It’s designed to control populations and foment political overthrow. They’d “like to teach the world to sing — in perfect harmony.”

See Mad Men series Finale.

And shudder.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
