A fictional city from Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse. It is based off of Amsterdam but is superior in many ways as it is home to the Dregs, lead by Kaz Brekker who is one of the best morally grey protagonists written, ever. It unfortunately also home to Pekka Rollins and Van Eck, both dispicable criminals of the evil, not-Kaz-Brekker sort.
Person 1: "I want to live in Ketterdam"
Non-Reader: "What's that?"
Person 1:" A place of gambling, law-breaking, canals, stunning buildings, the Crow Club..." (they continue their description whilst the non-reader walks off in confused silence)

Get the Lauren Kettering mug.An amazing person. Everyone wishes they had a friend named Katherine. She is unique, tries hard in life, and likes only 1 guy. She's smart, kind, and trustworthy. But on the inside is very insecure. Guys may like her, but think she's out of their league, so they give up. If you know a Katherine, tell her she's pretty, and it will make her day.
Tommy: Omg, it's Katherine!
His friend: Hey, dont you like her?
Tommy: Well, I guess. But she's too good for me...
MEANWHILE
Katherine: Oh, its Tommy...

Get the Katherine mug.(1485-1536) Katherine of Aragon was the first wife of Henry VIII and the mother of Mary Tudor, also known as "Bloody Mary".
Katherine and Henry were married for 24 years until Henry divorced her for Anne Boleyn; Henry's desire for an heir had led him to defy the Catholic church and would lead to the English Reformation.
However much prowess that Katherine showed as a ruler, however humanitarian that she was, however popular that she was among her people, it all came to nothing as her six pregnancies produced only one surviving child, a daughter, and her looks were ravaged by time, stress, and constant pregnancy.

"...For my part, I pardon thou everything, and I desire to devoutly pray God that He will pardon thou also. For the rest, I commend unto thou our doughtere Mary, beseeching thou to be a good father unto her... Lastly, I makest this vouge (vow), that mine eyes desire thou aboufe all things."
-from Katherine of Aragon's deathbed letter to Henry VIII
A petite, buxom redhead and the daughter of warrior monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, Katherine of Aragon would have ended very differently had her sons survived. The love of her people, her own determination, and the support of foreign allies could not stop Henry from banishing her. Even her daughter was prevented from seeing her.

Get the Katherine of Aragon mug.A reference to the fact that because there are so few girls at Kettering University, the few (generally unattractive) girls that there are seem much more attractive than they actually are. Similar to beer goggles.
Kettering Student: "Hey dude, check out that chick. She's a dime."
U of M Flint Student: "No man, she's ugly, take off your Kettering Goggles."
