Good lenses, bad frames
人不可貌相


Describing someone who gives a bad first impression but is actually a good person. Someone who doesn"t appear to be competent, yet is extremely capable at what he/she does.
形容一个给人的第一印象极差、但本质很好的人,或者指表面看不出来,实则深藏不露的高手。

例句:Dr. Bruce is a spaz, but he"s one of the best doctors I know. You wouldn"t know it by looking at him...good lenses, bad frames.

Mid-day crisis 
午间危机


When one is in a desperate need for a siesta because they become extremely tired in the afternoon and coffee isn"t cutting it any longer.
指急需午睡以补充体力的情况,这种时候通常咖啡已经不管用了。

例句:After that wild night of drinking, I had the worst mid-day crisis ever.

Clock Out With My Cock Out 
下班high去喽


To "call it a day" at work so you can go party.
下班之后去派对狂欢(clock out即打卡下班,也可以说punch out)

例句:-Hey, dude, you coming to happy hour?

Nearsighted Date
“近视”相亲

As opposed to a blind date, where you have no idea what the other person looks like, a nearsighted date is one where you"ve seen a photo or chatted via web before meeting in person.
与blind date(事先一无所知的相亲)相对,指在相亲前看过对方的照片或者网聊过。

This can often lead to disappointment if one person or the other has supplied misleading documentation.
如果对方没有给你真实照片或提供了虚假信息,nearsighted date一样有见光死的可能。

例句:That"s the last nearsighted date I ever go on...her profile picture must have been 5 years, 3 hair colors and 2 kids ago.(这个见光死死得彻底啊……)

Work avalanche
工作压死人

Postsantum depression

The incredible letdown some folks experience when they realize Christmas is over
(typical Monday after Christmas office discussion)
