brain bleach

Mental image remover

Brain bleach is something you wish existed to erase disturbing mental images.

The term comes from internet culture, where users encounter shocking or disgusting content and joke about needing to cleanse their minds: I need some brain bleach after seeing that video.

Sometimes rendered as *eyebleach*, especially when the disturbing content was visual.
