RICH WHITE GUY
This isn't about skin color so much as it's about the way we discriminate in these modern times:INCOME,EDUCATION,CLASS.
It's a mindset that thinks a million dollars for a one room condo is a bargain...that paying a thousand dollars for two
30 dollar bottles of vodka and a place to sit comfortably is just a good night out...that 1500 dollar an hour pussy is somehow better than 300 dollar an hour pussy...that bidding up the price on goods and services somehow puts you a cut above everyone.

PAGE 10 MOMENT
A defining moment when you realize the gods are aligned against you in pursuit of a goal...That and the realization that your handlers/advisors are either stupid or covertly sabotaging you.In either case they should all be fired.
ANCHORMAN:"Subsequent candidates looking to challenge SENATOR CLINTON have all suffered a PAGE 10 MOMENT. Leaving her little choice but to polish her acceptance speech."

RARE GROOVE
A style of music found at the intersection of jazz,funk,and rock.The golden age for this music was 1975 to about 1982.Most of the stars of the style just dabbled before going on to/back to that which paid the bills.As a
sub-genre it lacked a huge following...but it's influence can still be heard in music today.Usually as a sample.
