Linsanity

adj. The characteristic word defining a moment of greatness that Jeremy Lin, an NBA player, who was undrafted out of Harvard and nearly cut three times until he was given significant playing time due to desperation for the New York Knicks. Ever since then, he has been starting every game and has been a solid player. This phenomenon is described as "Linsanity"

Hardships that he had to overcome that regard him as an underdog:
-Asian-American of Taiwanese/Chinese descent
-Harvard graduate
-Perseverance despite being undrafted and cut multiple times
-High pressure to perform well as many regard him as the face of Asian American athletics

Imaginary person: "Holy crap, did you just see that 3 point dagger against the Toronto Raptors?"
Metta World Peace (Ron Artest): *Bursts out of the Lakers game room, screaming* "LINSANITY! LINSANITY!!!!!"

Linsley

(n.) An amazingly talented individual. One who is an ispiration to young adults. This Linsley is also very unique and has an outstanding sense of humor. Her personality runs wild, along with her creativity. As I had mentioned before, she is very talented.. to spring off of that, she is very strong in subjects such as language arts and choreography, therefore it is normal to see her in the yearbook staff and the schools cheerleading team. She is very kind and never careless. Her beauty shines brighter than the morning sun. You should meet one in your lifetime, because if you haven't already, you're missing out. And remember- the things that are least common to find are the thing we treasure the most in life.

Dude 1: "Wow, that Linsley is everything I had imagined her to be."
Dude 2: "and more.. so, keep her. It's not common to find one."
Dude 1: "You bet your ass i'm keeping her. I'm going to marry her one day!"

After emerging literally out of nowhere, he has become a national spectacle. His game winning drives are considered by many standards to be bordering on that of "insanity" and hence
