Cerise

A popular woman's name which attracted dozens of interesting complimentary submissions to the UD and dozens and dozens of derogatory insults to unsuspecting women and girls who share the name. UD editors have decided to stop further definitions for Cerise.

No more definitions for Cerise will be added to the Urban Dictionary because too many UD contributors decided to use the site to angrily insult women and girls with the name.

Jennifer Lopez

highly successful Puerto Rican American who has learned to hire people who can keep her image in the media far beyond the level her talent would otherwise suggest.

Jennifer Lopez was on tv tonight on six different stations just because her marriage is on again/off again/on again/off again. Should we really care so much about celebrities. They are just like us, only rich beyond our wildest imaginations.

Ford

The Ford Motor Company is currently the second largest carmaker on Earth. "FoMoCo" (one of its nicknames) includes the Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover and Aston Martin brands, which cover massive parts of the car market in the US and abroad. It is widely believed that Ford's American brands, namely Ford, Mercury and Lincoln, are suffering due to the added responsibilities of the new additions to the Ford family, as well as controversies harming important models, like the older version of the Ford Explorer SUV and Ford Focus compact. Ford is criticized especially for its handling of the historical and ailing Lincoln brand, which is no longer a top-tier luxury brand while its rival Cadillac is supported more heavily by General Motors, along with the increasingly irrelevant Mercury brand, which sells the most obvious twins of Ford models besides Lincoln.

Ford completed the expulsion of the Lincoln brand from its Premier Automotive Group.
