Sterling Archer
Sterling Archer, AKA "Duchess", is all that is man. Not only is he the worlds best secret agent, but he is an accomplished cocksman. When he isn't saving the world or having sex with a beautiful women he is probably doing one of 11 things: Belittling his valet Woodhouse, telling Lana Cane to call Kenny Loggins because she's in the "Danger Zone", beating Pam with a dolphin, playing with an ocelot named Babou, referencing Bert Reynolds movies, attempting to include an air boat into his plans, using operational funds for personal expenses, drinking, saying "I swear to God I had something for this", buying turtlenecks, and answering his phone with the ringtone "MULATTO BUTTS!".
Man: Dude I just tapped this super hot chick and then threw her clothes out the window cause she couldn't poach me an egg.
Man#2: You totally just Sterling Archer'd her. Well done.

Sterling VA
Sterling VA is a town in Northern Virginia between Ashburn and Great Falls. It is divided in two by the highway, Route 7.
On the south side of Route 7 is Sterling Park: an old neighbourhood with old people. There are also immigrants, fat white people, and Bob Ross. Local government claims there is gang activity here. However, the only "gangs" are actually white kids that spray MS13 tags on fences.
On the north side is Cascades: a clone of Ashburn. Residents of Cascades will never tell you they live in Sterling, as that may associate them with Sterling Park. Instead, they invented the imaginary town of "Potomac Falls" in an attempt to fool you into thinking they live in Great Falls. Smack in between the McMansions of Cascades is Sugarland Run, the poorest part of Loudoun County. To keep the poor, brown residents of Sugarland separate from the rest of Cascades, developers put Sugarland in the same zip code as Sterling Park despite being nowhere near Sterling Park.
