A layer or layers of something distinctive from what lies above and below, typically used to describe layers of sedimentary rock or some other sediment, but can also be used in any number of situations, literally or allegorically.
The athropocene epic will be seen, millions of years from now, as that layer of strata mostly made up of dissolved petrochemical waste, alloy rust, concrete powder and other relic substances of human technological dommination of the Earth.

Sunglass Hut

¹ A place whose sole commodity is offered by virtually every other retail establishment, only at a much higher price.

² A front for something bigger, something clandestine, and very likely something sinister.
Each Sunglass Hut is either a front for the mob, the Illuminati, or for some other secret organization.

How little sense it makes that they can stay in business, especially with the economy the way it is, just goes to show you how poorly disguised that something else is.

Cthulhu

High priest of the great "Old Ones," alien super-beings who came to earth many millions of years ago during the Paleozoic era that were eventually worshiped as gods by the johnny come lately human race.

His name is unpronounceable by human mouths.

A rough description of Cthulhu goes as:

A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings ... It represented a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind. This thing, which seemed instinct with a fearsome and unnatural malignancy, was of a somewhat bloated corpulence ...
In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu lies dreaming.
