Great Nickel Beer Night Riot

An infamous event that took place at Cleveland Stadium in 1974. Like most of the sport teams in Cleveland, the Indians sucked and they needed a promotion. So they offered beer for a nickel. Great plan right. So the fans got drunk and started a riot. The Indians ended up forfeiting due to the craziness. You know you're from Ohio if you've heard of this.

Over 25,000 people came to see the Indians on the day of the Great Nickel Beer Night Riot. Too bad nobody remembers being there.

The Great Perhaps

It was said by Francois Rabelais, and made more commonly known when mentioned by Miles Halter in John Green's "Looking for Alaska". It's a mystery about possibly the question of an existence of an afterlife, and The Great Perhaps sets the plot in motion.

"I go to seek a Great Perhaps." -F.R.
"That's why I'm going. So I don't have to wait until I die to start seeking a Great Perhaps." -M.H.
Before you die... "It's The Great Perhaps!" -You

The Greatest Band In The World

The Beatles

"Whatever happened to the life that we once knew
Can we really live without each other
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much
It always made me feel so
Free as a bird"

The final line, "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make", in the view of many fans, captures the essence of the Beatles' (The Greatest Band In The World) message.

great white hope

An up and coming white boxer, whom white people hope will reclaim the heavyweight title. Somewhat of a mythical figure.

Tommy Morrison was the great white hope, until Lennox Lewis kicked his ass.

World's Greatest

In Ultimate Frisbee, the World's Greatest is a move in which a player jumps from within the boundaries of the field to retrieve a disc that has flown out of bounds. In order to pull off a World's Greatest, the player must jump from behind the boundary line, catch the disc in midair, and toss it back into the playing field before he or the disc lands out of bounds, which would result in a turnover. Other definitions of a World's Greatest are more specific. Often to truly be considered a World's Greatest, the disc must be caught by a teammate after returning in-bounds, and some variants state that the disc be caught in the opponent's endzone. To maximize glory while attempting the World's Greatest, a player should lay out while making the catch and subsequent toss. The more bones you break, muscles you pull, and teeth you lose while attempting the World's Greatest will increase your glory by a factor of holy shit. When used in speech, the World's Greatest is often shortened to "the Greatest."

"Oh my God! It's The World's Greatest!"

"Holy shit, did you see Dale pull off that Greatest just now? He's totally getting laid tonight!"
