The Ecuadorian Casualty of War

Refers to the lone Ecuadorian casualty of the Second World War, stemming from an incident somewhere in the Andes Mountains, where a likely deranged donkey kicked a member of the Ecuadorian army in the gonads, resulting in his unfortunate death. The incident reportedly took place only mere seconds after the second and final atomic bomb was released over the Japanese city of Nagasaki.
"Damn... If only he held out for another 10 seconds. Poor muchacho."

"Yo dude did you ever hear about the Ecuadorian Casualty of War? It was a rather unfortunate situation."

Casualty of Clearing

A Casualty of Clearing (also known as a Clearing Casualty) is a term used in UK universities to refer to someone who is so desperate to go to university that they choose any subject through the UCAS clearing process even when their preferred option is no longer available.

These kinds of students often perform poorly in academic work and/or have little interest in the subject at hand. They eventually end up dropping out from university altogether.

Can be synonymous with a university party animal in many (but not all) cases.
Student 1: Callum was telling me that he chose to do Geology through clearing, but he doesn't seem to be enjoying it at all.

Student 2: He has only attended one lecture and apparently failed all his coursework so far. He told me he is thinking of dropping out.

Student 1: Callum must be a Casualty of Clearing.
