Archaic 1990s slang for a liberal celebrity with a personal connection to former President Bill and current Senator Hillary Clinton. Examples include Barbra Streisand, Carly Simon, and a good number of other well-known Hollywood types. Distinguished from true progressives by being largely a bunch of rich, connected limousine liberals.

A member of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), and therefore (usually) a recovering alcoholic. Derived from the name of Bill Wilson (Bill W.), one of the founding members of AA.
If you are at an airport and have a temptation to head to one of the bars, instead have "Bill W." paged, as code for your need for someone from the program come have a "meeting" with you.
