Bike-racking

Bike shedding, but amongst the professional sustainability mafia who will happily debate the optimum bike rack to occupant ratio for a building design whilst said building emits 10x a sustainable level of carbon emissions and the world burns due to climate change.
Richard: “If we could only increase the natural light level by four lux the occupant comfort would rise by seven happiness-adjusted-life-years and we’ll get a six star rating…”

Kate: “Oh for fuck’s sake Richard, stop bike-racking! You’re focusses on first world problems yet this design has enough carbon intensive concrete we’ll blow the carbon budget before day one of operations

Jewish racing gold

Jewish racing gold is the description of certain shades of the colour gold. It is most often applied to cars painted in a gold colour, though can also be applied to describe other items of this colour.

It is derived from the stereotype of Jewish women of a certain age having a prediliction to gold-coloured clothing and accessories, and is therefore mildly perjorative.

College Ranking 

In higher education, college and university rankings are determined by any combination of factors. Rankings can be based on subjectively perceived "quality," on some combination of empirical statistics, or on surveys of educators, scholars, students, prospective students, or others. Rankings are often consulted by prospective students and their parents in the university and college admissions process.

The US News and World Report is the most influential ranking in the US. Schools are split into four tiers, with the best being first, and then schools are ranked within each of tier. The first tier is reserved for only the top 50 schools and any college ranked below 50 but above the third tier is part of the second tier. The fourth tier is reserved for the bottom of the barrel colleges and universities.
Some schools are considered so far below average that they don't even garner a college ranking. These include institutions like Walden University and Axia College.
