| Jun 23, 2019 at 14:25 | comment | added | vicky_molokh | @CelestialDragonEmperor But I did list the examples: Resident of the Second Kitchen-Adjacent Cell, One Who Fell Into the Well Once, and Late Night Copier. These are meant to refer to people based on typical location, an event of misfortune and perhaps carelessness, and a typical timing of performing a certain deed. If my choice of examples is in some way unhelpful, could you please suggest what I should change about them / add to them? | |
