A "classic" novel, The Great Gatsby is a book that English teachers find necessary to assign their students to read, even though the plot is stupid, and everyone ends up dead, alone, or unhappy. Nobody knows quite how this book became a classic, but the '70s movie remake of the book stars Law and Order's Sam Watterson.
While his students' brains melted out of their heads due to boredom, the English teacher droned on about the signifigance of Gatsby's car being yellow throughout the boring novel, The Great Gatsby.
Get the The Great Gatsby mug.
The essence of douche-baggery, a flaming homosexual book that has no relevance to any intellectual thought. Often assigned as a highschool reading text that is thought to be interesting among these teens when in reality they want to take a big steaming shit on the cover and scream violently at the teacher that assigned it.
"DUDE, this is almost as gay as THE GREAT GATSBY, I mean come on..."

A mysterious powerful figure, like the Wizard of Oz but a person very fancy, elegant, and controlling.

Usually used to mock somebody who is too big for their britches or otherwise pretentious.
You just think you're the Great Gatsby, don't you?

Who is the Great Gatsby anyways?

in additon to being a smelly book that i was recently assingned to read for english class this term can be used in many other facets of life. A great gatsby can also mean a huge steaming shit. as in if you need to be excused to shit and you were in a literature type environment then you may excuse yourself by simply saying "excuse me sir but i must depart for the water closet for i have a very great gatsby i must evacuate from my bowel". this is the most polite way to say "i need to take a fucking shit right fucking now you fucking fuck", which in most cases is utterly unacceptable.
"excuse me sir but i must depart for the water closet for i have a very great gatsby i must evacuate from my bowel"

or simply "i need to take a great gatsby"
