 * For my attempt at bringing R.E.M. to WP:FA status, see User:Badlydrawnjeff/Projects/R.E.M.. It needs major citation overhaul.


 * User:Badlydrawnjeff/The Legend of Zelda: The Triforce Saga . It was well-sourced when written, but we're backed up a bit in terms of our current reliable sourcing policy.  This needs to be updated with more reliable sources that aren't blogs, or put together in a way that is well sourced if we ever update the policy.

Bro
Bro refers to a fashion style which is most popular in the Southwestern United States. Categorized by both the fashion style (mesh caps, spiked hair, and tattoos) and similar interests (vehicle customization, rap music and hardcore music), the term was created by the subculture, most likely due to the word being a common way to greet one another.

The bro subculture is mostly Caucasian, although some Latino people identify with it. Few black people consider themselves "bros" in this context, often due to a nativist feature prevalant in much of the subculture.

Prairie Muffins
Prairie Muffins is a term used by some conservative evangelical Christians in the United States to refer to married women who choose to pursue what they hold as the biblical role of women as quiet homemakers who protect the innocence of their children. The idea is taken from the New Testament passage in Titus 2:4-5:

"Admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. NKJV"

The origin of the term stems from an incident when R.C. Sproul, Jr., in a good-natured, joking, and in-passing manner, referred to his wife as a "Prairie Muffin." The term is proudly worn by those who self-define as such, although people who see the term and its lifestyle as form of patriarchy may use it as a pejorative. The husbands of those who self-define as Prairie Muffins sometimes refer to themselves as "Prairie Dawgs". Prairie Muffin women are likely to be Quiverfull, homeschoolers, and to live in a rural area.

Darvon cocktail
The Darvon cocktail is a mixture of drugs used to commit suicide, with the intent to cause death as painlessly as possible. Its main ingredients are:
 * Dextropropoxyphene Hydrochloride (Darvon, Deprancol), to suppress breathing)
 * phenobarbital (to cause unconsciousness)
 * midazolam (to induce sleep)
 * Metoclopramide (to counter vomiting).

The midazolam may be substituted with another potent benzodiazepine such as alprazolam (Xanax), or both may be used. The midazolam-alprazolam combination may be substituted for a combination of lorazepam and zopiclone. Sometimes Metoclopramide is replaced by Prochlorperazine.

The cocktail is unpleasant to the taste and will not work unless mixed in correct quantities, not least because of the risk of vomiting.
