Shibboleths have been used by different subcultures throughout the world at different times. Regional differences, level of expertise, and computer coding techniques are several forms that shibboleths have taken.

This is inaccurate, in that tin does not rust; only iron does. This may reflect the usage where an object made of iron or steel but coated with tin (in order to prevent rusting) is called a "Tin" object, as a "tin bath", a "tin toy", or a "tin can"; thus, the Tin Woodman might be interpreted (in English, at least) as being made of steel with a tin veneer. One passage in The Road to Oz, by Baum himself, wherein the Woodman attends Ozma's birthday party accompanied by a Winkie band playing a song called "There's No Plate Like Tin," strongly implies that this is the case. Another explanation may be that the Woodman is chiefly made of tin, with iron joints; in some of the illustrations, his joints are a different color from the rest of his body.[3] In Alexander Volkov's Russian adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Volkov avoided this problem by the translation of "The Tin Woodman" as the "Iron Woodchopper".

In the 1998 novel The Tin Man, by Dale Brown, the eponymous protagonist is a power-armored vigilante whom the media and police have dubbed The Tin Man for his physical resemblance to the Wizard of Oz character.

The title track would become one of the band's most famous songs, with the narrator inviting people experiencing problems to either call him on 36-24-36, an actual phone number in Australia in the 1960s, or visit him at his home, at which point he will perform assorted unsavoury acts to resolve said problems. Situations in which he offers assistance include those involving lewd high school headmasters and significant others who are either adulterous or who persistently find fault with their partners.

it was a line in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, "You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon."

the klingon villain in the film quotes an unusual amount of Shakespeare

Lennon delighted in mocking Epstein for his homosexuality and for the fact that he was Jewish.[162] When Epstein invited suggestions for the title of his autobiography, Lennon offered Queer Jew; on learning of the eventual title, A Cellarful of Noise, he parodied, "More like A Cellarful of Boys".[163] He demanded of a visitor to Epstein's flat, "Have you come to blackmail him? If not, you're the only bugger in London who hasn't."[162] During the recording of "Baby, You're a Rich Man", he sang altered choruses of "Baby, you're a rich fag Jew".[164][165]

i don't know about whatever cultural thing you're talking about here but "tryhard" is a very good description of a lot of Russian composers. the first time you sit down to try and learn some music by Rimsky-Korsakov or Mussorgsky the universal reaction is to make a progression of expressions that goes :pwn: :stare: :what:

i like both Shostakovich and the guys i mentioned but they come from different eras. also when you consider that Mussorgsky and the rest of "The Five" lived during the era of like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, i guess the mid-late 1800s was peak russian tryhard time

Trees often have a substantial mass stored above ground. Trees and tree parts can and do fail, and this mass is converted to kinetic energy. These failures can cause substantial damage and occasionally result in the death of a person.
