Descriptive of the powers possessed by master illusionist Derren Brown. The apparent ability to predict and control the behaviour of others using magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship. Occasionally, and sometimes unexpectedly, we mere mortals can experience fleeting success with our own Brown Powers.
Every-day example:
“I offered her the last chocolate biscuit but she succumbed to my Brown Powers, insisting that I have it”
Classic Example:
From Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
Stormtrooper: Let me see your identification.
Obi-Wan: (Using his Brown Powers) You don't need to see his identification.
Stormtrooper: We don't need to see his identification.
Obi-Wan: These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Stormtrooper: These aren't the droids we're looking for.
Obi-Wan: He can go about his business.
Stormtrooper: You can go about your business.
Obi-Wan: Move along.
Stormtrooper: Move along... move along.

When anyone says "Platano Power" trust me there Dominican, Platano power is from the Dominican Republic mostly all Dominicans use "Platano Power" mostly Teens, or Adults but it's pretty common, We use it when we are playing online there a Dominican group that says "Platano Power" It may even have a plantain Emoji right next to it, that showing how much we LOVE plantains, we also may say it when we win a game mostly Baseball.
"Loco vamos a jugar un juego, y hagamos un grupo como quieres que se llame? Loco {Platano Power} porque dime somos Dominicanos"
"Yo lets play a game, make a group what should we call it? Yo {Platana Power} cuz tell me.... We are Dominicans."

A powerful sandwich is no ordinary sandwich. A powerful sandwich is a challenge to create, a challenge to eat, and a challenge to master. How many items can you fit in it, how large can you go, can you handle the powerful sandwich?

A person who tries to utilize as much power or authority as possible. This trait is often found in people who actually have little or no power. Therefore, utilizing the "Power Sucking" mindset, they try to hog as much power as possible. Sometimes found in substitute teachers.
Person 1: You can't do that!
Person 2: Why not?
Person 1: Because I said so! And I am fictionally powerful.
Person 2: You must be a power sucker.
Person 2: Why not?
Person 1: Because I said so! And I am fictionally powerful.
Person 2: You must be a power sucker.

THE disgrace of the late 20th century and early 21st century. Port Power or "The Power" as their supporters* call them are the worst AFL team to have ever played the game. With the ugliest colours (black, teal and white) on their guernsey, even for a complete foreigner to the game would go for Port's opponent.
*Port Supporters: Feral, either absolutely no teeth or (in rare cases 1 or 2), severely outnumbered in their home state to the Adelaide Crows supporters. Also, Port supporters are known to be a part of many incestial abuse reports.
