I've heard BNOC recently (big name on campus)

I can -- the guy was a serious step down from Lincoln. No wonder he didn't get the nomination again.

It's such a neat line, and it was great to watch the players' and commentators' reactions

If you're going by how we say years pre millennium, it'd be eleven eleven (to match e.g. nineteen eighty four), which still isn't what's in the op.

To be clear: your interpretation of it is not being defended. People are arguing instead that you've interpreted it wrong -- i.e. that the 'hirelings and slaves' are the British soldiers, being likened to mercenaries (hirelings) and pointing out that they often served unwillingly after being press-ganged (slaves).

I have no skin in the game, but you seem to be taking others' statements in pretty bad faith.

I've never heard loaf used to mean head. Grass, porkies and raspberry I'd say are the ones that have gone into common usage, to the point where I didn't even know they were rhyming slang

I like the attention to detail that they did Plato as a beefcake.
