doesn't love the Lord and Southeastern Conference football

An ironic expression used by Southern males to express disbelief in or mild condemnation of some else's attitudes or behavior, supposedly drawing on some stereotypes of Southerners. (This expression possibly originated with Lewis Grizzard, a most excellent American humorist and commentator.)

Billy Bob eats strawberry Moon Pies and drinks Pepsi; only someone who doesn't love the Lord and Southeastern Conference football would do that.

Gypsy Rose Lee Strategy

In negotiations or in a hierarchy, this is a strategy of holding back the commitment of some resources. The plan is that they might be subsequently required by a customer or superior and, when provided, gives them the sense that they have gained a considerable concession. This is named after Gypsy Rose Lee (1911-1970), American ecdysiast (stripteaser), who advised a stripper to pretend that she had completed her disrobing but still had one or more garments that could be removed and had been planned to do so. This caused the customers to clamor for her to remove more, and when she would seemingly reluctantly did so, it would, give them the sense of having gotten something extra.

On my original proposal, I used the Gypsy Rose Lee strategy by not listing some things that were planned because I knew that they would be requested and I wanted to give the impression of them having gained some big concessions.

rat cap

This was a 1960's style hat consisting of a beanie-style cap with small brim in front and often with school initials or logo, once optimistically 'required' of freshman males at certain universities. To be seen in one permanently labeled one as a dork.

Rat caps seem to be making a comeback, as ironic retro wear.

Freshmen were supposed to wear rat caps while on campus at Georgia Tech. You risked the penalty of having your scalp shaved if you didn't.
