Russian history lesson

An anecdote or fact someone tells to make him/herself look like he/she actually knows something. Comes from Star Trek TOS, in which Ensign Pavel Chekov says that basically everything is a "Russian inwention" and why, leading to Kirk, in one episode whilst Sulu is launching into a complicated anecdote about Siberia, to announce that "if he wanted a Russian history lesson, he would have brought Mr. Chekov along".
Me: Oh, look. Flowers.

You: Oh yes, those are crocuses, the only flower that can grow in snow. I have a friend who genetically engineered crocuses and planted them on the moon-

Me: Please spare me the Russian history lesson.

You: (have just been owned)

Leyloni

A really sweet,smart, caring girl. Sensitive, stays true to herself, and to people. Rarely seeks revenge on people. Thinks a lot on how she can make things better, and is really helpful. Religious and naive. Sometimes gullible. Does not think she is attractive, but people always tell her she is. Likes to experiment new things. Sometimes anti-social. Laid back, and does not like drama. Funny and like to laugh, a lot. And she is ready for a good time.
YEAH, Leyloni's so nice too!

one of the famous and fascinating paintings by rembrandt; displaying the social, intellectual and spiritual atmosphere of the 17th century's europe. It’s a painting of a doctor named nicolas tulp who is a wellknown and influential anatomist in amsterdam; demonstrating an autopsy lesson to several students.
"the anatomy lesson of dr.tulp" impresses by the dramatic concentration of the figures on Tulp's demonstration of the dissection of a forearm.

leysin

A very small town in the Swiss Alps largely owned by a group of Greedy Otts(Refer to Ott), that sucks the soul from your body slowly through cigarettes and alcohol.
I lived in Leysin for so long that sneaking alcohol at night and cigarettes on a balcony became a habit of mine.
