Duckbutt's definitions

name-killer

A name-killer is a very strong association of a name with an unfortunate or disreputable person or character, with the consequence of the name becoming less popular than before.

Adolf, Elmer, and Cletus are all examples of once more common names that were affected by name-killer associations. It is still open whether Monica will suffer this same effect.

mushroom status

This is the plight occasionally experienced by lower-level college administrators such as department or division chairs in which they are on a short leash as to what they can do, are regularly given a ration of shit, and are kept in the dark.

No budget, no instructions, no discretion or wiggle room; Bill has been consigned to mushroom status and regular Friday afternoon meetings.

Rear Admiral

A Rear Admiral is slang for a proctologist.

"I know I'm a proctologist; and I find it disrespectful to be referred to as a bum doctor or as a Rear Admiral, unless you give me a snappy uniform."

egg-sucking dog

This literally refers to a seriously ugly or mangy mongrel. Said to be descrbed this way because of its non-doglike penchant for eating the insides of eggs.

Metaphorically, it can be applied to a person (almost always male) who is out-and-out riff-raff: one of the inbred corps.

Ole Billy Bob was just an egg-sucking dog.
