dead lion

When an overbearing, powerful or dangerous figure is dead, or alternatively when someone has lost their fear of life, others, and their own limitations, via life experience and wisdom (most often a single guy in his 30s or 40s) so is therefore unpredictable in his own way and cool, and is as likely to stand up and help the underdog or unlock the genius of others as he is doing something edgy, hurtful or confusing. The 'lion' in this case is/was his place in society, which he has in some regards abandoned or transcended while still being a vibrant and potentially threatening figure with it.
Bye-bye Saddam Hussein. That lion be dead.

Alternatively, for the living: Did you see Paddy Considine in that Dead Man's Shoes film? That one muckerfucking scary but cool Dead Lion.

Lionell

This is usually, if not always a boy name. Lionell's tend to be a bit distant but they are always there when in need. They are kind people that will do anything and everything to make sure you are ok. They are always giving help but refuse to accept it when they are in need. Lionell's are hardheaded and just cant seem to know when to stop and accept help for themselves. All in all.... Lionell's are kind, sweet, hardheaded, caring, and will not give into letting you know their true emotions. Lionell's will lie so you aren't worried about them when they are hurting so it's best to look for the signs ( even tho you know they will push you away when you order help ).
Me: Lionell stop pushing me away and tell me what's wrong!!

Lionell: *smiles happily to hide buried pain* I'm fine. Now stop shouting at me crazy lady.
