Beowulf's Dragon 

The third and final enemy of Beowulf, one of the earliest known works of fiction.A fire drake measuring 50 ft (15 m) long. The dragon guards a lair filled with piles of priceless treasure. Its heavy body blocks daylight from reaching the armor, goblets, jewels, coins, and golden swords it hoards deep in the cave. Whenever someone steals a golden cup from its lair, the dragon rampages through the countryside, burning every home in Geatland and terrifying villagers. Only Beowulf, King of the Geats, can stop the dragon.

Beowulf is armed with a magic sword and has an army to face the dragon. He strikes the dragon with his sword, but the blow glances off the beast's hide. The rest of his army flees but Wiglaf stays to help. He stabs the dragon in a vulnerable place and Beowulf slashes it through the middle, cutting the monster in two and ending its life.
Beowulf's Dragon is the first example of a fire-breathing dragon in literature.

Hevisaurus 

An actual heavy metal band for children. Originating in Finland, the group consists of five members who are all people wearing dinosaur costumes.

The band was created by former Thunderstone drummer Mirka Rantanen who got the idea from attending a children's music concert with his kids, in which he decided to form a children's metal band.

According to the fictional origin story of the band, five dinosaur eggs made from metal survived the mass extinction some 65 million years ago in the mountain of wizards. In the year 2009, witches gathered at the same place. A giant lightning bolt hit the ground and simultaneously created ash and revealed the eggs. From the power of the witches' chants, the eggs exploded and five Hevisaurus' hatched.
Non-metalhead: Metal sucks! It's too satanic and dangerous for children!
Metalhead: Um, you do realize that an actual kids' metal band exists right?
Non-metalhead: Really?
Metalhead: Yep. Hevisaurus (one of the most popular metal bands in Finland).
Non-metalhead: Oh. Well I guess it isn't so bad for them after all.

A large elephant-like creature that exists in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. They are far different from real-life elephants as they're much larger and have four tusks instead of two.

They were often referred to as "Oliphaunts" by the hobbits.
The Mumakil were often used in battle by the Haradrim

White Jesus 

The false depiction of Jesus Christ that appears in paintings and all different types of media. Most people don't know the fact that Jesus in reality was an ancient Palestinian Jew. He wasn't the handsome white guy that's portrayed in movies and artwork.
It's that awkward moment when the Ku Klux Klan and all the racist Christians find out that the White Jesus they've been worshipping is actually a Middle Eastern Arab and not white at all.

Sexy Jesus 

When people are actually attracted to Jesus because of his handsome appearance.

Ironically, Jesus wasn't actually all that good looking according to the bible:

"He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him."-Isaiah 53:2
Most people seem to be attracted to Sexy Jesus when in reality Jesus wasn't all that beautiful

A racial slur used to describe Palestinians as they are often stereotyped as using slingshots as weapons.
Is it offensive to call Jesus a slingshot since he was Palestinian?
