Jamie Lynn Spears

Britney's little sister, who proved that she's just as dumb as big sis by getting pregnant at 16 and probably destroying her 'career' in the process.

Further proof (if any were needed) that their mom, Lynn Spears, is a terrible mother.

Previously claimed to be a 'Christian' before becoming a teenage pregnancy statistic.

49th parallel

Slang reference for the border between the United States and Canada. The 49th parallel of latitude does make up the western third of the U.S. - Canada border (the border dips south through the Great Lakes region), but the term refers to the entire border, referring to both the geographic and cultural divide between the two countries. Although scrutiny is understandably higher since 9/11, the border is still probably the most open international border in the world.

The 49th parallel is the longest undefended border in the world.

Pearl Harbor

1. (Historical) An undeclared attack by Japan on United States military installations in Hawaii (including the naval base at Pearl Harbor) on December 7, 1941 that led to the United States entering the Second World War.

2. A generic reference to a 'sneak attack' of any kind.

3. An awful 2001 movie, with fictional 'pretty boys' inserted into the historical events of Pearl Harbor in a similar way that Leonardo DiCaprio's character was inserted into the historical events surrounding the sinking of the Titanic in the movie of the same name. (One perceptive critic described the movie as "Titanic with bombs"). The movie was savaged by the critics, although it was a financial success. To see a reasonably accurate filmed history of Pearl Harbor, see Tora Tora Tora (1970).

1. The battleships U.S.S. Arizona and U.S.S. Oklahoma were destroyed in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

2. Are you trying to pull a Pearl Harbor on me?

3. The only way to watch the movie Pearl Harbor is on DVD, with liberal use of the fast forward button.

meta-celebrity

Someone famous for being famous (or infamous), particularly in the entertainment industry.

See also Professional Celebrity, Famious for being famous.

The late Anna Nicole Smith was a classic meta-celebrity

Gimli glider

1. Refers to Air Canada Boeing 767 C-GAUN (c/n 22520), which on July 23, 1983 ran out of fuel over Northern Ontario, and glided to a landing at an abandoned airfield in Gimli, Manitoba. At the time, this was the first ever dead-stick landing of a jet airliner. The aircraft was subsequently recovered from Gimli and flew for Air Canada for another 25 years before being finally retired in January 2008.

2. Subsequently, the term 'Gimli glider' has become Canadian slang for a particularly glaring screw-up.

1. Hopefully, the Gimli glider will end up in a museum.

2. You just pulled a real Gimli Glider back there.
