Sternberged 

Screwing up royally on purpose at work and having absolutely nothing happen to you. Named for Dr Richard Sternberg.
I think being Sternberged means going from being a third-rate scientist in a clerical position at NIH with a hobby of indulging, and possibly sharing, Creationists' fantasies, to being wined and dined by Fox news and Coral Ridge Ministries, flown around by the DI, giving lectures to fundies and interviews for hefty fees, and possibly getting a do-nothing job for life at some Christian college. Not a bad deal if you're into that kind of stuff.

Roman von Ungern-Sternberg 

A man who freed Mongolia from Chinese occupation. He was a Buddhist and a very zealous one indeed. He was anti-communist. He did lots of good for Mongolia such as developing public transportation. Unfortunately, many have portrayed him in bad light.
That guy is just like Roman von Ungern-Sternberg.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
