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."

Sea Cliff

A town on Long Island where most of the locals roll through stop signs and give you nasty looks when you have the right of way. They pay absolutely no attention to the reason a stop sign is there. They barely even slow down. If you have made a complete stop and start hitting the gas to continue on and a "local" comes rolling up to an adjacent stop sign, please beware. They won't even look around. They only look straight in front of them and seem to lack peripheral vision. You, like most people, will probably expect them to stop and wait their turn. You would be wrong if you were in Sea Cliff. No, instead the local driver will continue on and look at you like you are crazy and an A-hole. Don't believe it, go to Sea Cliff, NY. Drive around. Especially around Sea Cliff Ave.

I was driving in Sea Cliff today and I was almost hit by a local driver when he/she blew a stop sign. The worst part was that he/she looked at me like I did something wrong and should be ashamed of myself.

The finest pub in all the Land. With its 'characteristic' décor, friendly bar staff, Weakest Link machine and £1 pints on Mondays and Tuesdays, you need look no further for your drinking requirements.

1. Mate, you coming to t'Clifton for a few beers?

2. I love The Clifton.

3. Let's go to The Clifton and rinse the Weakest Link machine for all it's worth.

Meat Cliff

The large fleshy mass of a hefty woman that hangs directly over her crotch area.

Bill couldn't see the girl's camel toe because her meat cliff was blocking it.

Cliff

A name for a guy who is solid yet can go just to the edge. Solid ideals and morals but likes to push himself and others just to "the edge" of fun, passion, excitement, sex, etc. Constantly has his foot on "the line" of no return but always finds his way back! Not afraid to show his emotions and doesn't try to hide them. A man among men. A friend among friends.

Girl: I went out with that guy Cliff!
Friend: How was it?
Girl: OMG! I thought he was meek and mild-mannered. But what a crazy guy. He acts half his age, kept me laughing all night and in bed I thought I was gonna die!
Friend: So are you seeing him again?
Girl: Well, like, Yeah!!!
