World's 'Best-Sculpted' Face 

Jin from BTS, whose real name is Kim Seok-jin, has been named NUMBER 1 SCULPTED FACE IN THE WORLD or the World's 'best-sculpted' face by the Famous Czech firm CzDollic professional doll-designing and sculpting team founded in 2015.
CzDollic said the star’s face rendered on three dimensions showed “oval features balanced symmetrically that can be filmed from any angle and a beautifully curved mouth.”
The group revealed a specially designed winning trophy for Jin – a crystal cube containing a three-dimensional engraving of his face inside, which gleamed in blue and bore the word “Sculpted.”
Jin’s near-perfect visage also sparked interest in February 2018 when a foreign plastic surgeon analysed his face. After studying 269 Asian male faces, the surgeon said Jin’s face hit the “golden ratio of 1:1.618” – one being the cross distance between ears and the other figure the distance between the chin and hairline.

World's Smallest Violin 

When someone is whining and you are tired of hearing it, you can play the world's smallest violin to provide musical ambiance to dramatize their annoying whine. This is accomplished by rubbing your index finger and thumb together and saying, "This is the world's smallest violin, and it's playing just for you."
Joshua: "America would be so much better if we were a communist country. Everyone deserves to have equal wages, we are all people and that is true equality."

World's Greatest 

In Ultimate Frisbee, the World's Greatest is a move in which a player jumps from within the boundaries of the field to retrieve a disc that has flown out of bounds. In order to pull off a World's Greatest, the player must jump from behind the boundary line, catch the disc in midair, and toss it back into the playing field before he or the disc lands out of bounds, which would result in a turnover. Other definitions of a World's Greatest are more specific. Often to truly be considered a World's Greatest, the disc must be caught by a teammate after returning in-bounds, and some variants state that the disc be caught in the opponent's endzone. To maximize glory while attempting the World's Greatest, a player should lay out while making the catch and subsequent toss. The more bones you break, muscles you pull, and teeth you lose while attempting the World's Greatest will increase your glory by a factor of holy shit. When used in speech, the World's Greatest is often shortened to "the Greatest."
"Oh my God! It's The World's Greatest!"

"Holy shit, did you see Dale pull off that Greatest just now? He's totally getting laid tonight!"
