Norm Larsen

“He died in December 1970 at the young age of 47, never realizing his dream of creating a product better than WD-40 for worldwide distribution. He did create a product called Free N’ Kleen which actually was better than WD-40 or CRC, but a few years after his death the company went out of business, and the formula was lost.”

Freemasonry and women

“The subject of women and Freemasonry is complex and without an easy explanation.”

Compersion (polyamory term)

Compersion is a state of empathetic happiness and joy experienced when an individual’s current or former romantic partner experiences happiness and joy through an outside source, including, but not limited to, another romantic interest.”
The adjective frubbly and the noun frubbles are sometimes used to describe the feeling of compersion.[7] These terms are more suited to cheerful, light-hearted conversation, and they are more grammatically versatile, for example: “I’m feeling all frubbly” and “Their relationship fills me with frubbles”.[8]
The last one is included not because of any real “clues” in the writing, but because it’s inconceivable that anyone who wasn’t a committed polyamorist could form any of the sentences.

Update: An addition from my close personal friend Rick Mahoney:

Another great example is the “Linebacker U” subsection on the Penn State Football Wiki. Some examples:

-Lavar Arrington was an extremely physical linebacker who was all over the place.

-Paul Posluszny became the face of Penn State football from 2003–2006, and is the definition of Linebacker U.

-NaVorro Bowman, drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 2010 draft, ranked 7th in the league in tackles in 2011, which is a difficult feat playing next to tackling machine Patrick Willis
