Charlie Gordon 

A "Charlie Gordon" is one of those packs of plastic silverware you get with the napkin, fork, knife, spoon, salt and pepper pack.

The reason behind this is that it must take the mind of Charlie Gordon to assemble these things.

Imagine a bunch of ARC-tards sitting around putting these together then you will get the picture!
I went to the chinese takeout and they forgot my Charlie Gordon. I got to use my fingers now!!!!

Charlie Gordon 

An unhealthy dumpling who is incapable of shooting his/her gun in Fortnite and has yet to get a kill, although (s)he plays A LOT. (S)he also has a stronger, smarter, and better-looking older brother who is the President of the Make-A-Wish Club. Lastly, (s)he quit lacrosse to play tennis because (s)he didn’t like Richard Lungen’s son. Then, by some Trump-Russia manipulation, (s)he was voted Captain because he paid the real, actually good tennis players off.
Every human being with eyes, “Charlie Gordon doesn’t shoot his gun in Fortnite!”

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
