Oak Cliff

A large community located in the Southwest part of Dallas known for being one of the rowdiest parts of the city. Oak Cliff is made up of almost entirely Blacks and Mexicans due to the so called "White Flight" period in which whites moved to the suburbs. Residents of Oak Cliff are known for their great amount of community pride. Oak Cliff received a lot of attention across the country for being the place where J.F.K's killer, Lee Harvey Oswald lived and was captured. Also known for being the place where the notorious bank robbing duo Bonnie & Clyde met and were buried. Oak Cliff today receives a lot of negative publicity due to its high crime, poverty, gang violence, murders, and its drug epidemic. Interstate 35 runs through Oak Cliff, and is one of the main suppliers of drugs found in the United States by way of Mexico and South America. Made up of many neighborhood communities, Oak Cliff is home to the famous Big T shopping plaza, Motown plaza, Wynnewood plaza, Southwest Center Mall, and the Dallas Zoo. Oak Cliff is also famous for the many hood block parties thrown throughout the area, the flashy slab car scene, and its many club hoppers. The High Schools in Oak Cliff are known for their sports and exciting band performances at games, which replicates bands such as Grambling, Southern, and Prairie View A&M. Oak Cliff has also received a lot of attention due to the song "Oak Cliff That's My Hood", which was a huge radio hit across Texas. Oak Cliff has recently received national attention for the widely popular shirts worn by many of its residents depicting the struggles they've overcome despite growing up in Oak Cliff. Overall despite the negativity associated with Oak Cliff if you ask any resident where they are from they will proudly say OAK CLIFF.
Im a hustla and whatever I got I'll sell it to ya...I'll say my hood a thousand times, I might as well spell it for ya O.A.K.C.L.I.F.F with my niggas or by myself don't bite my tongue or hold my breathe. - Young Nino(Oak Cliff)

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.
