Uncle Lou 

Uncle Lou is a vernacular term which circulates among patients and some staff (mostly volunteers) in cancer clinics. It refers to leukaemia. It is a way for patients to buffer the impact of the disease without giving it credence by mentioning it directly. It is a euphemism which is understood mostly by those who are affected with cancer, and some who treat the disease. Uncle Lou sometimes refers to a terminal condition of various blood cancers, and sometimes serious disorders of the lymphatic system, such as the Human Lymphotrophic Virus and AIDS. Uncle Lou is a way for the patient to mention the condition while distancing themselves emotionally from the enormity of the prognosis.
I'm afraid Uncle Lou's paid me a visit. Looks like he's here to stay.

Uncle Lou's moved in. I was hoping he had the wrong address.

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.
Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
