Tulsa

An event where much fewer than expected attendees show up. The attendance has to be so low that the host gets embarrassed.

Background: Donald Trump's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma in June 2020

Mary: Hi Karen, how was your birthday party last night? Sorry I couldn't make it.
Karen: F**k you Mary! F**k everyone! I ordered food for 100 people and only 3 showed up. You all made a Tulsa out of my party.

tolossa 

Tolossa (n) is a name you can give to someone very proud of his/her identity. Tolossa people will not pretend to be someone they are not even if pretending would have been beneficial at the moment. As such they are not good for acting roles.

The origin is a TV evangelist's episode in Ethiopia where the evangelist told a congregation member the latter has a new name now. When the evangelist asked "What's your name now?" the guy responded with his original name "Tolossa" instead of playing along and saying the new anointed name.

Mary: Hey honey I thought Meghan would be starring in your new skit.
John: No. Turns out she is a tolossa. She can not follow a script. She just says whatever she wants to.
