Name that sounds or looks so weird that you suspect it must be something else spelled backwards. Only it isn't.
I thought Seredip Posankul sounded weird so I turned it round to see what it said and ended up with luknasoP pidereS. It's obviously just a pseudoccultonym.

Chap who lived back in the nineteenth century. Grew a big beard, in which he invested quite a lot. Had a good head for mathematics and wrote a lot about property and political evolution. A bit boring, not always on the money, and misunderstood by airheads and meatheads, as dead white males usually are. He overestimated both human generosity and the idea of membership of the working class as a badge of pride. Someone recently posted that he taught that the lazy should be allowed leech off the hard-working. This actually is a pretty good picture of present-day America, where the lazy keep getting away with it because the hard-working keep voting for them.

The urge to revisit a refrigerator every twenty seconds in the hope that something more appetising will somehow have materialised there in the meantime.

1. A particularly enjoyable or important occasion.
2. The day a woman menstruates.
3. In the Harry Potter series, the day one of the students receives a howler, typically in the Main Hall in front of everyone else.

The launch of one's first novel is a red letter day in any novelist's life.
She had her first red letter day last week. She spent all day sulking in her bedroom.
Another red letter day for poor old Ronald.

Intellectually lazy speech in which a single all-purpose noun or verb is frequently substituted for something more specific, the term for which the speaker can't be bothered to remember. From the dialogue between the title characters in the cartoon series "The Smurfs", in which the word "smurf" is frequently substituted for other words; the word substituted does not necessarily have to be "smurf".
Examples of Smurfspeak:
And then, Papa Smurf, I took her smurfy smurf by the smurf and smurfed her up the smurf.
The thing is in the other thing over by the thing, you know the thing I mean?

A Big Lie. A real whopper. Something of real audacity, deep hypocrisy or serious ambition. It sizzles and it's hot, like a giant sausage spitting fat at a barbecue.
Bush's claim that Saddam Hussein was good buddies with Osama Bin Laden has to be one of the big sizzlers of the twenty-first century.
Another sizzler might have been, "This is my last territorial demand in Europe".
After twenty years of filling his skull with paranoid bullshit, Jimmy's mother's claim that the poor boy was autistic was a real sizzler.

Country taking up a northwesterly crescent of what used to be Yugoslavia. Noted for Roman Catholic nationalist fundamentalism. Joined with the Serbs in attacking Bosnia-Herzegovina in the early 1990s. The national flag ripples with the same red and white checkerboard pattern that was last seen when the area was a puppet state of Nazi Germany, which should tell you all you need to know.
