Fermat's Last Theorem was the last equation in a book written by Pierre de Fermat's that was the last to be solved. The equation was x^n+y^n=z^n. Pierre said that he had proof that this equation could never be proven if n was larger than 2.
He wrote this in 1637 and it hasn't been proven until 1993(1995 for perfected) by Andrew Wiles. Andrew proved this after working on the equation for 7 years. Solving it was a dream of his since he was a young boy. Andrew received worldwide recognition for his proof. Andrew solved this by also proving the Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture, which states that every elliptic curve is also modular. Andrew solved this by turning the elliptic curves into Galois representations and turning the equation into a class number formula. Many had tried before Andrew but none succeeded for 300 years.
Many doubt if Fermat had any real proof but it was still a mathematical marvel of a challenge and we can hope another such equation will pop up.

"It is impossible for a cube to be the sum of two cubes, a fourth power to be the sum of two fourth powers, or in general for any number that is a power greater than the second to be the sum of two like powers. I have discovered a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition that this margin is too narrow to contain." - Pierre de Fermat

Get the Fermat's Last Theoremmug. a word to describe someone who is very unattractive, who no one wants to date... a minger

Get the last chicken on the shelfmug. A drunk who is shy until last call, at which point he'll try to hook up with anything that has a pulse and/or booze at home.
Bruce Lee: Damn, that quiet motherfucker is suddenly talking to all the transients, that is disgusting.
Jose Contreras: He's just a last call Lothario, typical bullshit.

Get the last call Lothariomug. When an otherwise unattractive or downright ugly woman appears to be attractive because she is the last resort, or "last shot" a man has at engaging in intercourse for that particular evening.
Another interpretation is that the woman appears attractive only after the man has had "one last shot" of alcohol.

It was last call at the bar, and Duane had yet to find a woman at the bar to go home with. In his drunken desperation, the overweight 40-something brunette with a missing front tooth appeared attractive to him. After talking her up and taking her home for coitus, Duane awoke the next morning to her hideous visage, and found that unfortunately, she was only Last Shot Hot.

Get the the last of the real onesmug. joey shoots sammy, billy stabs joey, sandy decapitates billy, rachael beats sandy with a baseball bat, tommy whips out an ak-47 and takes out rachael, then seeing all the carnage commits seppuku. george walks in and says "omgwtfbbqusa is this the last act of hamlet or something?!?!
