Get the heightism mug.Ladera Heights is a "hidden" neighborhood for really rich black people. Houses are mostly owned by doctors, lawyers, and other working and wealthy African American people. It's normal term is "The Heights" but lots of people also call it "The Black Brentwood". Kids that come from Ladera Heights are said to be snobby although there are many kids that come from there that aren't too snobby. The reason it is called "hidden" is because most people have never heard of the neighborhood.
"Welcome to Ladera Heights. The wonderful world of affluent African Americans. But keep it quiet, or else white people will come back to the neighborhood and try to take everything! Just say you live in Culver City!"

Get the Heinous Nap mug.This is a particular ball bowled in the game of cricket that is simply unplayable. When bowled this ball will travel at such high velocities the wicket sets on fire due to the heat created from friction. Typically the nip back off the seam is so severe an inside edge onto the stumps is guaranteed. Only a few players can produce such a delivery and thus the term is rarely used. However you will know if you have received a heinous razzler.
