The mysterious, misunderstood threat that propels the classic film noir Kiss Me Deadly; it turns out to be a suitcase of a glowing, uncontrollable radioactive substance.
The great whatsit need not name anything specific: it refers to any nebulous but presumably devastating threat that becomes an obsession for an individual or even an entire nation, regardless of its materiality. Much of its terror comes by way of implication. Examples include the communists of the 1950s, the JFK conspiracy and Weapons of Mass Destruction.

A nickname for an alpha Gretchen, or the superior version. She is perfect in every way. She is the best looking girl you will ever see in your life. She is also the funniest and smartest person you'll ever meet. She makes an amazing girlfriend who will never fail to brighten your day and put you in a better mood. No matter who you are if Gretty the Great cares about you, you're the luckiest person on earth

A person who always thinks that thigs are too small or too simple and proceeds to make them more elaborate, even ostentatious.
He just couldn't be happy with the car he found on the showroom floor. He had to pull a Herod the Great and pimp it out to no end. The DVD player is cool, but the jacuzzi in the back seat is a little much.

Term used to describe one who’s weight is their personality trait. These people are menaces and at the sight of food immediately turn into a wild animal. Do not make these people angry, as they will growl and frantically start yelling. These people are unable to go without food and will claim they are trying to fast when it’s absolute bullshit.

Awe in face of something which does not fit existing categories, but was nonetheless created by human hand.
