The Tower Formerly Known as Sears

A moniker for the recently renamed Willis Tower in Chicago, formerly known as Sears Tower from 1973-2009.

Used by Chicagoans to avoid using the name Willis Tower.

Similar in structure to The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, which the music artist Prince crafted for legal reason to produce music outside the control of his corporate music label, until such time as he could regain his rightful name.

The key formally known as 'Prince'

An "extended" Macintosh keyboard—the most common type—has two keys formally known as 'Prince', one on each side of the space bar. Some compact keyboards have one only on the left.

So named after the musician "Prince" who changed his name to a symbol (than back to "Prince")

Also known as "The Command Key", "open-Apple key", "Apple key", "Apple modifier key"
The key formally known as 'Prince' has a single purpose: allowing the user to enter keyboard shortcut commands to GUI applications.

the girls formerly known as the nips

tgfkatn The girls who used to be called the nips, or nick's bitches. However, following Nick's overall lack of control and Hunter's "whoops told them they were nips" dialogue, they are now disbanded and known as the girls formerly known as the nips.

Also, nearly all (if not all) are bitter at Hunter. Forgive and forget, ladies.
"Nick, we should go do some archery this weekend." "With who?" "You know, that girl, the ni.... the girl formerly known as a nip."
