batman building

n. The Bellsouth tower in Nashville, TN. It has two identical towers on either side of it, making it resemble Batman.

Look there's the Batman Building, next to the GEC.

elephant in the room

n. A very large issue that everyone is acutely aware of, but nobody wants to talk about. Perhaps a sore spot, perhaps politically incorrect, or perhaps a political hot potato, it's something that no one wants to touch with a ten foot pole. Sometimes pink elephant in the room.

The degeneration of parental responsibility in this country is the elephant in the room, but no one in Washington wants to address it.

3. The entropy of all pure perfect crystals is zero at absolute zero. (It is, of course, impossible to get to absolute zero.)

pull all the stops

1. v. i. To go balls out, put forth a great effort.
2. v. i. To take a risk, go out on a limb.
Pipe organs have little plungers called stops which control the volume. When the stops are pushed all the way in, the sound is very quiet. When pulled all the way out, the sound is very loud.

She pulled all the stops and cooked me a delicious candlelit dinner. Then she pulled all the stops and asked me if I thought she looked fat in that dress.
