A nickname for the Great Lakes region of the United States when discussing politics. Although liberalism is often thought to be limited to the coasts, the citizens of the Great Lakes region ignore expectation and often vote Democrat. These liberals are often very supportive of unions and gun control, as they are major issues in the area. This area is also ahead of the curve on social issues, with several of the states already having legalized gay marriage and marijuana (medical or decriminalization). Member states of the Great Liberals are Illinois (capital), Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa (adopted from the Plains). This region is home to President Barack Obama.
CNN Correspondent 1: "Of course the Democrat vote will be limited to the coasts as always."
CNN Correspondent 2: "You're forgetting the Great Liberals, which could make all the difference!"

Usually used in sports related situations (but also applicable to all life situations), conservation of greatness describes a situation where a person has just done something earth shatteringly amazing, and then immediately proceeds to attempt another amazing action. The second action has 1% chance of doubling the glory, and a 99% chance of failure, which includes a 50% chance of making the person look like an absolute fool.
Popularly used in the game of ultimate frisbee, but possibly originating elsewhere.

'Conservation of greatness' is rarely used as part of a statement, but instead is the entire statement, said after witnessing the the failed follow up action.
Said with great joy when an opposing team fails to compensate for conservation of greatness, but with utter frustration when your own team mate has just made a fool of himself.

One of the Trumpster’s favorite nicknames for himself when he’s feeling low and trying to suck up to Hispanics.
At varying times in my ultra-successful life I have been called The Great Employer since all of my ultra-successful businesses have steadily employed so many undocumented immigrants that you probably would be unable to count them since they are in fact not documented!
