Ghosts 'n Goblins

Side scrolling video game by Capcom in which the player controls a knight, Arthur, in his quest to rescue the princess.

Pollyanna

An internal optimist in the face of adversity (reality).

From the title character of the 1960 Disney movie starring a young Hayley Mills.

I lost my job, my girlfriend and someone stole my car. What the fuck do you mean I should cheer up, Pollyanna?

Gowanus

A canal in Brooklyn leading from the NYC harbor. It is the most polluted, noisome body of water in the United States.

"What happened to Rahul?"

"Poor guy. He went swimming in the Gowanus and hasn't been heard from since!"
