coming out of the cupboard

"coming out of the cupboard" is a figure of speech for popular or non popular people's disclosure of their secret obsession for Harry Potter.
The term comes from the well know phrase "coming out of the closet" which refers to a person revealing that they are gay/lesbian.
The "closet" part is replaced by "cupboard" because, as we know, Harry Potter lived in the "cupboard under the stairs" in the beginning of the book series.

I guess I'm finally coming out of the cupboard. I didn't really want people to know I was secretly obsessed with Harry Potter

cupboardy

From 2nd series of popular sketch show, "Little Britain". A hypnotist character was playing scrabble with his elderly mother while visiting her at hospital. He hypnotised her into thinking it was a real word, meaning "cupboard-like". Can be used to describe something as small, boxy etc.

Your room's a bit cupboardy, mate.

Depressed cupboard cheesecake

The most ridiculous name for a child ever. The daughter of a couple in Kent is genuinely named this. Usually people are named this if their parents have some kind of irrational hatred for them.

Kid 1: Whoa, is that Depressed Cupboard cheesecake over there??

Kid 2: Yeah. What a crap name
