cliffhucker

Typically a skier, snowboarder, kayaker, or mountain biker who looks for steeps, drops, and ridges from which to jump. Cliffhuckers tend to be total adrenaline junkies who are always looking for that next ‘rush’. Some cliffhuckers have even died taking on drops that are simply too large or awkward to land.
Man, did you see that cliffhucker flip off that ridge up there? He totally bit it!

Cliff

A Cliff is a very buff lad who drives a taxi.

Nonexistent on the basis that he is a.) invented by the coiner of Konneor and b.) Ella’s supposed soulmate. (See Clella )

He is both unintelligent and drinks too much coffee.

cliffite

A “cliffite”, also known as a “Neo-Trotskyist” is a type of Trotskyist who follows the tradition of politics understood by Tony Cliff. This primarily includes the nature of the Soviet Union and other “socialist states” (Cuba, North Korea, etc.) to be state capitalist, not degenerated workers’ states as Leon Trotsky outlined in his book The Revolution Betrayed.
“Why does that socialist refer to the Soviet Union as state capitalist?”
“It’s because they’re a cliffite”

glass cliff

a situation in which women, specifically those from underrepresented communities, are promoted to higher positions during times of crisis or duress, or during a recession when the chance of failure is more likely.

Put simply, women in these situations are set up for failure.

It also makes the company look good. If the woman fails, the company is labeled as being progressive and is free to replace her with a man. If she succeeds, the company is better off and may even take credit for appointing the right person for the job. Even with the high chance of failure, a glass cliff position can be difficult to turn down because leadership roles are so infrequently offered to women

for exp: Jen O'Neal, Liz Truss, Kamala Harris and many more.
"Women were often left teetering on a glass cliff after being handed impossible jobs."

"Hired to boost sagging morale, the CEO is facing the edge of a glass cliff."

"He'd still have to find some willing woman for the glass cliff."
