Birmingham

aka Brom, Brummagem, etc
a historical English city of great import that often gets a bad rap.
Queen of the West Midlands, King of the Hill, and you can fly out of there, too.
I grew up in the Bull Ring in Birmingham, so people think I talk funny.
They named a town in Alabama after my city, so there is a Brom in the New World, too.

Cliterature

alternate definition: 1970's derogatory term for women's literature. Now archaic.

Concept was that writing was either literature or it was not literature, so any attempt to manufacture a subgroup was somehow denigrating the legitimate body of work.

Sprang from growth of Women's Studies programs at US universities.

Sometimes also used to describe Comparative Literature, although usage may have faded into obscurity.

Rob Schneider

washed-up ex-SNL actor whose apogee was doing the 'making copies' skits about a hundred years ago. The rest of his oeuvre is forgettable, or better yet, unwatched.
Rob Schneider was a 90's concept that should have been left on the cutting room floor.
Rob Schneider obviously had 8x10 glossies of Lorne Michaels in a compromising position, otherwise he never would have gotten on SNL, let alone into any of those ridiculous movies.
