Uncle Lou

Uncle Lou is a vernacular term which circulates among patients and some staff (mostly volunteers) in cancer clinics. It refers to leukaemia. It is a way for patients to buffer the impact of the disease without giving it credence by mentioning it directly. It is a euphemism which is understood mostly by those who are affected with cancer, and some who treat the disease. Uncle Lou sometimes refers to a terminal condition of various blood cancers, and sometimes serious disorders of the lymphatic system, such as the Human Lymphotrophic Virus and AIDS. Uncle Lou is a way for the patient to mention the condition while distancing themselves emotionally from the enormity of the prognosis.
I'm afraid Uncle Lou's paid me a visit. Looks like he's here to stay.

Uncle Lou's moved in. I was hoping he had the wrong address.

Bad grammar. Put the apostrophe in twins uncle to make it make sense.

Uncle Phil

A nickname give to Phil Knight, the founder of Nike and alumnus of the University of Oregon. Phil Knight has donated millions of dollars to University of Oregon Athletics, which has helped pay for state of the art facilities and an overall embarrassment of riches that any athletics program would love to have.. Consequently this has helped Oregon Duck sports (football in particular) become successful. Top-tier athletes are attracted to all of this great stuff. The fans are well-aware of Phil Knight's monetary contributions which have in turn brought success, and metaphorically he's like the uncle whose spoils his nieces/nephews with gifts, hence he's been called "Uncle Phil".
Beaver: "What the hell? How do you guys get all these bitchin' facilities? That's so unfair!!!"

Duck: "It's all courtesy of Uncle Phil. I hope you're looking forward to another beatdown at Autzen stadium where you can see all the new things Uncle Phil has bought for us."
