A dembel (Russian: дембель) is a Russian military slang term for a conscript who is in the last 100 days of his mandatory military service.
Dembels are looked up to as higher ups and seniors by their newer, younger counterparts (dukh). This slang term is similar to the western “Unc.”
Conscript 1: “Did you hear about the Sergei? He’s officially a dembel.”
Conscript 2: “It’s about time, he deserves that status.”

Ousmane Dembélé 

He is a great French footballer. I'm sure one day he will become a legendary footballer like Lionel Messi and/or Ronaldo.

Many people are confusing on how to pronounce his name. His name is supposed to be pronounced as OOS-MAHN DUNG-BAY-LEH, based on the correct French pronunciation.
John: Who is the best footballer in 2033?
William: Ousmane Dembélé!

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
