Get the railing a line mug.Everyone's favorite English teacher, until she mentions the quiz you're supposed to take that class.
We were distracting Patricia Raglin with stories from our weekends, but not even funny Mr. Roberts quotes could stop the inevitable quiz that we would all fail.

Get the The J.K Rowling Effect mug.A term coined in the 2020s by streamer RTGame, a rowling refers to someone you genuinely don't want to mention because you're so disapointed to even say their name (unspeakable disapointment).
The term in essence is used when you do not wish to say someones name. This could be for a variety of reasons but is meant to be used when the reason comes from a negative light. Some such reasons being immeasurable disappointment in their actions, hatred for who they are or have become, or a complete wish to not show the respect of speaking of them by name, instead calling them a rowling.
The etymology of the term comes from Joanne "JK" Rowling, whom many don't even want to mention due to her awful values in accordance with transgender folks along with her racism and utter stupidity in going from beloved childrens author, to widely known terf and bigot. The term comes about in comparison to the character in her books Voldemort, who most do not want to mention by name because of their fear of him, or in another context because they do not believe his name deserves to be said. Joanne became a rowling when she decided to show her true self in all her bigotry, making people hate her, or so disappointed in her that they do not want to even say her name.

Get the Rowling mug.The author behind the Harry Potter franchise. And if you are LGBT+, you'd likely know her as the women exploiting the community for diversity points yet refuses to explore the sexuality she claimed for her characters. Also known as the author going against the very own community she exploited by posting transphobic ideas.
Kaitlyn: Stop calling JK Rowling transphobic. She had a right to an opinion!
Laura: An opinion isn't an opinion if it discriminates another person. By that logic, we should excuse racism because it is just an "opinion" too. Also, if she genuinely had a problem, she would come with a solution instead of antagonizing an entire group of already oppressed people. Her women rights crap is just her trying to cover up her transphobia.

Get the Rawlins mug.A cliched maneuver of incapacitating adversaries in many action-based films by firing at a rival gunmen standing near a guard rail, to which they then flip over the structure (more often then not, clutching the entry wound before plummeting). Possibly first referenced in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode "Space Mutiny".
Damn, did you see how far the drop was after that railing kill?! The only thing that could've made that better was if he did a Wilhelm Scream!
