Clergyman from any number of different Christian sects who introduce young alterboys and choirboys to the mysterious inner working of the church by the secret ceremony of the lifting of the cassock.

London, UK.
Jellied eels are an old East End (of London) favourite where they are still sold from street stalls, to be eaten from china bowls sprinkled with hot chilli vinegar. Jellied eels are the sort of street food you wolf down while standing up or perhaps on the way home from the pub.

A current trend in television programs where people are told that they do not match the cultural norm either in the way they look or dress. Using special effects, advanced computer manipulation and spray painting techniques the person is then given the illusion that they look like a film star or can afford to buy top line designer clothes while bringing up two small children on a part time job serving fries.

US: A death row prisoner on his terminal walk to eternity inherites the unenviable title of 'dead man walking'.
As the prisoner set of for his last walk to the gas chamber the other con's slowly shook there heads from side to side and muttered 'dead man walking'.
