Bottom-Dweller

An insult which indicates that the recipient is a member of society's lowest levels. This may have stemmed from Elizabethean times, when the poorer viewers at a theatre had to watch from the ground (hence their nickname, 'Groundlings'), which had no seats. The wealthier atendees, however, had nice chairs and overhangs, preventing them from getting wet.

Stop stealing from my mailbox, you bottom-dweller!

Dodgers

The players on the National League's Los Angeles baseball team. Originally, the Dodgers played in Brooklyn, where they first received the name 'Dodgers'. The name was a reference to the homeless who covered Brookyln's streets in those days, dodging the trolleys that carried passengers around the city. The nickname doesn't make much sense nowadays, unless it refers to the bullet-dodgers in Compton.

The Dodgers are cool solely on the grounds that José Lima pitches for them.
