Finding the gallium

Discovering something that is very peculiar or hard to get; especially in large quantities.

Idiom comes from a fan made Spongebob comic where two men find a truck full of gallium that supposedly belongs to Squidward.

James: "A team of miners just discovered a large pile of jewelry and building materials weighing half a ton in Cuba."
Ron: "Wow, talk about finding the gallium."

Mr. Gillis

A math teacher known for his innovative teaching methods at St. Thomas High School. He employs creative characters and scenarios to enhance math problem retention. For instance, he personifies parentheses in interval notation as "evil" brackets, emphasizing their adjacent numbers’ exclusion from number sets. Despite his unique approach, some students label him a "bad teacher" due to occasional lapses in explanation, although few questions are raised during his lessons.

Student 1: Did you understand Mr. Gillis's explanation of quadratic equations today?
Student 2: Kind of. He went off about superheroes and villains, but I guess it helped me remember the formula.
