A famous American orator, and three-time Democratic nominee for President. He never became President, but he dodged a bullet (literally) when he lost the 1900 election, as McKinley was assassinated one year later while shaking citizen's hands at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo. His 1896 "Cross of Gold" speech is his most famous speech, and probably the most quoted of his orations. Unfortunately, Bryan is remembered not for his political campaigns (he ran an anti-imperialist campaign against McKinley in 1900, and McKinley is now considered one of the most imperialistic presidents in all of American history), nor most of his orations, but the Scopes trial, in which he condemned a teacher who taught evolution in a Tennessee school. Now most commonly cited as an example of ignorant fundamentalist Christians by those who don't understand how the past actually worked. Historians, however, (including a SOCIALIST, Richard Hofstadter) have stated that it is a cruel, misconstrued view of an individual who had simply outlived his time.
Joe: " I just got a silver filling in my tooth. Damn, it hurts, but I do look pretty badass now.
Bob: "Haha, I have a gold filling."
Joe: "You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold!"
Bob: "Who's that quote from?"
Joe: "William Jennings Bryan."
Bob: "Wow. I have no idea who that is. You're smart."
Joe: "Thanks, William Jennings Bryan, posterboy for obscure historical figures!"

The second winningest Jeopardy player ever, to Brad Rutter. He lost to Brad in the 2005 2 Million Dollar Masters Tournment in 3 straight games. Apparently NOT the best Jeopardy player ever.
P1: Man, did you see Ken Jennings on Jeopardy last week?
P2: Yeah, he got totally ruttered in three straight games by Brad Rutter himself!

1. A game show otherwise known as Jeopardy, particularly since they no longer limit how many times the same contestant can appear on the show.
2. A steady source of income for the Mormon Church since Ken Jennings tithes 10% of his gross.

My wife is watching The Ken Jennings Show. I think she's waiting to see if the church and the state can tax Ken into poverty. Otherwise, there isn't much suspense.

A relationship between a man and his twitter account that borders on unhealthy, whereby said man tweets constantly but seems unable to spare his girlfriend one text, despite being able to both tweet and text on his mobile phone.
Named after the infamous dumping of John Mayer by Jennifer Aniston because he tweeted too much but did not seem to be able to drop her a text.
