hagiography

the biography of a saint, or (sarcastically) an overly-fawning biography. A puff-piece.

That was no expose'. That was a hagiography.

pearls before swine

sending good definitions to the Urban Dictionary.

Arg! They rejected my definition of shouty-crackers again! It's a real piece of urban slang that they don't have in there! Pearls before swine, I tell you what.

richochet biscuit

A ricochet biscuit is the kind of a biscuit that's supposed to bounce back off the wall into your mouth. If it don't bounce back... you go hungry!

The other day I had a richochet biscuit. Bow wow wow!

Richard Dawkins

born in 1941, coiner of the word meme. He has lately taken up the mantle of the late Madalyn Murray O'Hair and become the obnoxious atheist of the English-speaking world.

He wrote an essay called Viruses of the Mind, referring to religion. He calls believers, faith-sufferers, and disparages even those who are tolerant of others' faith. He thinks they are a large part of the problem.

Richard Dawkins, you sure are an arrogant atheist.

O'Brien

a high official in the Ministry of Love in "1984." He tortured the protagonist, Winston Smith, into submission to the totalitarian "Party." O'Brien was played in the film by Richard Burton; it was Burton's last role.

Winston was struck, as he had been struck before, by the tiredness of O'Brien's face. - George Orwell, "1984"
