Everyone came to see Batman in the Dark Knight, but I think The Joker stole a bit of the limelight with his brilliant performance.

Limelight is: A very intense light used in pre-electric theaters created by a controlled heating of the mineral lime until it glows.
Limelight isn't: A word that has anything to do with burying plague victims.

As an example: A "professor" who does not do his etymological research but know's that lime's extreme alkalinity can be used to disinfect and help the decomposition of bodies might make up a story about plague victims wandering among corpses being the center of a crowd's attention and conflate this supposition with the actual use of limelight in theaters to cast spotlights.

Also referred to as: "Limerz Lad"
The Limelight is the place to be if you want to get pure shattered and vomit. Famous for its easy second-hand Glenties women, your sure to get the shift.
People come from far and wide to see the iPod totting DJs who are mad yocks when it comes to saying UGGY UGGY UGGY.
Anyway, it is well known for its distinctive smell of excrement.
If you havent been to Glenties, you haven't seen the largest gathering of shams known to man. Well boy ;)

Limelight is a word used by Why Don't We Fans. This word came from their first song called Taking you. In one of the lines of the song, it says... "I need you in my life like Limelight, wherever I go I'm taking you". Now, limelight is referred as the expensive VIP pass before concerts to get access to meet the boys, get merch, and have an after party too. This pass normally bumps up by $50 each year and is limited to about 15-20 people.
Fangirl One: "Ellie! Look! I got limelight! I'm super excited! I can't believe I got it!"
Fangirl Two: "Lucky, I just barely missed it!"

Limelight’s are the fans of the best band ever. A limelight is caring thoughtful and why don’t we OBSESSED, they are in someone’s lane and will stand by them but ultimately love all the boys.
