Ben-Hur (1959) follows prince of Judea Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) through his quest to avenge his family after his childhood friend Messala(Stephen Boyd), a Roman Tribune, enslaves him and imprisons his family. The film is nationally renowned not because of its impressive acting, casting, or story line, but because of the phrase "Ramming Speed" spoken a total of 2 times in the film. "Ramming Speed" was used both times when Juda Ben-Hur was enslaved on a Roman naval ship and forced to row. Ramming speed indicates the speed at which the naval ship should achieve and the pace at which Ben-Hur should row.
Husband: Ben-Hur was the subject of my church group for the 3rd time this week

Wife: Its that ramming speed that everyone loves so much

If one is said to be "Ben Hur" it implys that one is a man of small stature....yet a large amount of sexual appeal.
Thus one can never be....bigger than Ben Hur.
"Oh that Ben Hur...He's so hot right now!"
Ben Hur by Whilma Zan Zeykenstein January 30, 2006
Ben Hur is a bus driver from Europe. He knows where to turn by pure intuition, and he always is right. He also drinks pure alcohol, and he also never pays parking tickets in Slovakia. He's German, and the name he uses for cover is Bernhardt.
He also has the power to fly on his motorcycle, reanimate dead bodies, and use the Force.
Stack: Ben Hur, how do you know when to turn?
Ben Hur: Um...Vat do you call it... ... patience.
Roman: Do you mean intuition?
Ben Hur: Ach ja intuition, zat is vat I meant.

Bigger than Ben Hur 

We say something is 'Bigger than Ben Hur' if it is of epic proportions, extravagant, massive, more than it should be.

The MGM film Ben-Hur was released in 1959 and had a budget of $15 million (a huge budget for the day); a gamble that paid off, when it reaped $90 million worldwide.

The Ben-Hur 

When having sex with conjoined twins in doggy style, the man grabs their ponytails with the vigor of Heston in the chariot race from Ben-Hur.
After hooking up with the Hensel twins, Tom took them home and gave them The Ben-Hur.

The Ben Hur 

When a nude male grabs a nude females ankels and wheel barrels her; a nude midget fucks her from behind while in between her legs. The nude male that is holding the ankels rests his dick on the midgets head to make him look like he is wearing a Roman helmet. Thus it looks like the midget is riding in a Roman chariot.
Damn, me and two foot Tom gave that girl The Ben Hur last night. He looked like he was in a lil chariot.

fache-couture 

French slang, which translated, means "bull's fashion" but basically equates to "hyper trendy" or overly trendy. Used when a person wishes to express distaste at the latest fashion trend/fad, because it seems that everyone has a certain item of clothing or is wearing it. This term is most frequently heard in Paris but is slowly spreading to other parts of France.

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
“That summer body? Yeah, glippy assisted.”
