see red

referring to an initial indication of battle frenzy, or homicidal trance, during which survivors have said their entire visual field was "tinged with a pink haze" (from a Civil War account of the Battle of the Wilderness - the "Cornfield" encounter battle). During this frenzy, an attacker's fear transforms into ecstatic fury leading them to kill friend and foe alike, and afterward recalled (if at all) in a fragmented series of vignettes, from a perspective outside the attacker's own body, with a disturbing, dim echo of joy. Usually used in the first person, simply to mean " I became enraged".

To see red: "When he broke my heirloom punch bowl, I saw red and grabbed the fireplace poker."

Seeing McDouble

Seeing double after eating a McDonald's McDouble cheeseburger off of the dollar when you've been drinking. This is usually followed by a trip to the bathroom to throw up.

I shouldn't have eaten that....I'm seeing McDouble!

site seeing

Going to a site like Craigslist in another city just to see what stuff is selling for there, something you do when really bored.

I went site seeing on Craigslist last night, those clowns in Omaha must think their junk is made of gold.

See the strings

Anything that takes you out of a book, film or tv show by exposing the creative process.

In old movies where you could literally see the string holding people up, you would be taken out of the film because you could see the method of creating the effect, and be reminded you were watching a movie. Examples could also include speech making in books and films, where the characters are spouting the writer's philosophy, or going into expositional dialogue.

That speech just ruined it for me; I could see the strings.

That lazy coincidence took me out of the story completely - I hate it when I can see the strings.
