Ivory Throne

A derivation of the "ivory tower" concept, representing an absolutist monarchical version of academic or intellectual detachment. Where the ivory tower suggests a space of privileged isolation from which scholars observe society, the ivory throne implies active domination—the exercise of intellectual authority as absolute power, the treatment of one's own expertise as royal decree, and the expectation that the unwashed masses should simply accept the pronouncements from on high. The occupant of the ivory throne doesn't just study society from a distance; they rule over knowledge itself, issuing edicts about what counts as truth, who gets to speak, and which questions are even permissible. Unlike the ivory tower dweller who might be merely out of touch, the ivory throne occupant is actively hostile to challenge, treating disagreement as insurrection and alternative perspectives as treason against reason itself.

Example: "He didn't just dismiss her field as unscientific—he spoke from the Ivory Throne, declaring entire disciplines invalid with the absolute confidence of a monarch who had forgotten anyone else existed."

King's Throne

A toilet seat that is warm to the touch when you sit on it. It's as if you are the King and it was pre-warmed for you.

I went to crap at work the other day and came across a King's Throne, yuck!

braid of thrones

How the characters in Game of Thrones somehow keep their braids intact even though they've moved around alot and should have fallen out by now.

When Daenerys walked into the fire to hatch the dragon eggs, you would think her hair would get rekt but it stayed so Braid of Thrones, like totally on fleek
