the Stig 

The Stig is the mysterious "tame racing driver" of the popular BBC car show Top Gear. His name derives from the 1984 World Rally Champion, Stig Blomqvist. All shots of him show the same racing overalls (black in the first 2 series, white from series 3 and onward) and a helmet (of matching colour), but never reveal his identity.

The Stig's job on the show is to drive various cars around the Top Gear test track. The times he sets with those cars are kept on a scoreboard that keeps track of the fastest cars they have tested. The easy listening, prog rock and baroque music the Stig supposedly listens to in the car is a perennial source of amusement to the presenters. Although he never speaks, The Stig is credited as a presenter on the show.
"Some say he appears on high-value stamps in Sweden, and that he is wanted by the CIA. All we know is, he's called The Stig" - Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear presenter

The Stig 

The best competitive Super Smash Bros Ultimate player of all time. He has taken wins off of every player he's ever fought in tournament. When he first played the game, he already had immense natural talent and was a top player but as of currently he has not dropped a single game to any SSBU player in the past several months. The SSBU Community has put a $50,000 bounty on his head for anyone who can take a Best-of-5 tournament set off of The Stig.
Random SSBU player: Have you ever watched a tournament set of The Stig before? He's hella goated.
Other random SSBU player: FR! I wanna be The Stig when I grow up! Talented ass player.

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.
