http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competent_man posted:Many non-superpowered comic book characters are written as hyper-competent characters due to the perception that they would simply be considered underpowered otherwise. Batman, for example, is typically depicted as a member of the Justice League of America alongside Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern, all of whom are superpowered whilst he lacks superhuman powers of any kind. As a result, despite his original depiction as a vigilante, modern depictions of Batman portray him as having achieved the peak-human possibility in all things physical and intellectual. The same treatment has been applied to Lex Luthor, who has always been Superman's archenemy despite the former's total lack of superhuman powers. see also: the list of examples

from rapgenius but whatever:quote:Lil Wayne – A Milli Lyrics quote:It may sound like Lil Wayne believes female menstruation is a venereal disease, but that’s probably not what’s going on. He loosely connects the two (they’re both vagina-y and kind of gross to men) to transition into a description of his writing process. Similarly, Wayne’s career keeps coming back for more, just like a monthly period.

“And Tillman’s last words? The soldier with him at the time poignantly recalls how Tillman saved his life even while his screams couldn’t spare his own. To his buddies but 40 yards away who were unloading artillery into his chest and head he screamed, “I’m loving Pat Tillman, why are you shooting at me? I’m loving Pat Tillman!” http://www.motherjones.com/media/2010/09/pat-tillmans-war not from wikipedia but close enough

Runner's Diarrhea, often termed "runner's trots"[1] or "the gingerbread man",[2] is a condition that often affects distance runners, and is characterized by an urgent need for a bowel movement mid-run. If the runner can find a suitable toilet or bush, the resulting stool will be on the higher end of the Bristol Stool Scale. Whether the stool can be considered diarrhea, or a clinical expression of ischemic enteropathy is under debate.[3]

A hataki (叩き?) is a type of household cleaning tool, originating in Japan. Consisting of durable cloth strips attached to a stick or pole, it is used for removing dust from surfaces onto the floor, where it can be swept or vacuumed. Similar to a feather duster, it is not to be confused with an Ōnusa.

alternately, have a program generate japanese-sounding words, look them up & put in a merge request to the first link in the article if they exist.

Kurozhu (くろず, from Enligsh cloth) is a Japanese cleaning utensil consisting of a square or rectangular piece of fabric. The Kurozhu is commonly made from cotton fabric, but sometimes synthetics are used. Very high-end kurozhus are made from liniere (リンネル) or Japanese linen. They are often printed with a plaid pattern, or company mascots. In popular culture: Japanese housewives in anime and manga are commonly depicted wearing an eipuron (エプロン) or apron and using a kurozhu to dust off objects or wipe kitchen surfaces.
