shaggy dog story

A long, harrowing tale often beset by misfortunes that the protagonist endures, only for all his/her/its/their victories to be rendered pointless in one move.
The quintessential shaggy dog story goes like this: One day, a man was hiking when he had a terrible fall. Then, he was discovered by a shaggy dog. The man worked through the pain to take the dog home. After tending his injuries and feeding the dog, he discovers in the papers that a rich couple were looking for a shaggy dog, and were offering a reward for anyone who found it. The man then sold everything he could think of to buy a ticket to the owner's residence area. He even paid extra for handling the dog. When the man landed, he scraped just enough money to get a car. He went to the dog's owner's mansion, but missed the gate. When the man got to the door, he and the dog were shot dead by a guard.

yandere

A yandere is a character, usually female, who harbors powerful affections for another person to the point of either being jealous, aggressive, controlling, or downright insane and violent to the point of killing anyone(usually also female) that looks at their supposed love interest. Typically used to refer to anime/manga characters, but there are similar cases in the real world. (at least according to 2chan)
Basically, a yandere is a word you should run away from really fast. You may not live long enough to run, but you will live long enough to try.

small man, big ego

A person (gender doesn't matter) who constantly acts like they own the entire country and that they're famous/beloved by all, when in truth they're morons/assholes that nobody likes.
I hear you're new to the neighborhood. First of all, please ignore Joe. He's one of those "small man, big ego" types who thinks he owns the street. I should know, I'm his landlord.

bad day

The point at which even the most sane, composed, calm, collected, stable, and well-adjusted person in all of human history to utterly snap and lose it.
All it takes is for one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy.

selective obliviousness

Having the mental capacity to understand something that's painfully obvious to anybody else and/or has overwhelming and undeniable evidence, but deliberately ignoring it for any number of reasons. Compare willful ignorance.
Jean was presented with mountains of evidence that her husband was cheating on her, and more-or-less covered her ears and went "LALALALALA." I swear, she's engaging in selective obliviousness.
