Oxymaroons

The nickname of University of Chicago sports teams. It is a reference to "University of Chicago Athletics" being an oxymoron.

Maroon and Maroons became the University of Chicago’s official color and nickname, respectively, at a meeting of students and faculty on May 5, 1894.

The Oxymaroons have been living up to their name lately, unfortunately. It's nothing like the good old days with the Maroons who won the Big 10 in football in 1899, 1905*, 1907, 1908, 1913, 1922, and 1924.

Ozymandias Moment

The moment in writing where a character, usually the main character, loses everything or realizes they've lost everything, especially after they have gained more than what they originally had in terms of financial and material wealth, power and notoriety, fame, etc. Named after the sonnet of the same name, in which the once great Ozymandias has been reduced to a crumbled statue.

Ace's Ozymandias Moment was very impactful in showing that he bit off more than he could chew, and paid the price.

Ozymandias Syndrome

For when an iteration of a franchise is very good on its own, but isn't as enjoyable as it should be due to coming after a stellar iteration. Named after the third-to-last episode of Breaking Bad, Ozymandias, which is universally considered to be one of the best episodes on TV, causing the next two episodes to pale in comparison.

"I should have liked that episode more than I did. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but it just wasn't as good as last week's episode."
"Sounds to me like the episode suffers from Ozymandias Syndrome."
