So when Miller depicts Kavanaugh as a jock lording it over the dorks, she's really describing one kind of nerd lording it over another kind, Bruenig's high school nightmare recreating itself among people who are all tools and grinds and weirdos by any reasonable American standard — with all the dysfunction that such a hothouse world contains.

I've heard every argument you could imagine: the notion that British police must now be lording it over the poor defenseless population; the blinkered insistence that there must have been a rise in crime with illegal guns and legal knives now all the good people with guns have been taken out of the equation.

A document of 1 January 1176 reads Fernandus Pontii dominans Zamoram ("Ferdinand son of Ponce lording it over Zamora"), indicating that "Ponce" was a patronymic. He also held Sanabria (1182–89), Mayorga (1186–87), Benavente (1186–89), and the Transierra (1188). Sanabria and Zamora had once been held by his father and passed on to his elder brother.

He was elected as a National Council Member to the RIBA Council from 1 September 2014.

Petrarch received a canonry in the church of Padua in 1349. In 1351 Ildebrandino urged Petrarch not to go to Avignon. He asked Petrarch to ignore the message received by two cardinals (as Petrarch says in another letter two powerful bulls lording it over Christ's wide pastures) to abandon worldly ambition and avoid the rat race of curial responsibility of which the bishop himself already had ample experience. It turned out to be all in vain.

In the earliest reference to his castellany, he was just cited as Gonzalo in Oveto, in Oviedo. By June 1113 he was dominante Asturias (lording it over Asturias), and in a document of December he was described as caput terra (head of the land). In May 1120 he was referred to as regnante Asturias (ruling Asturias) and Asturias presidente (presiding in Asturias), but his most common designation (after 1123 at least) was potestas in Asturias (the power in Asturias). Starting in 1115 Urraca appears to have limited Gonzalo's power.

Adalrich had a rocky relationship with the monasteries of his realm, upon which he relied for his power. He is infamous for the suppression of that of Moutier-Grandval, and for lording it over monasteries, including his own foundations. According to the Life of Germanus of Grandval, Adalrich "wickedly began oppressing the people in the vicinity [Sornegau] of the monastery and to allege that they had always been rebels against his predecessors." He removed the centenarius ruling in the region and replaced him with his own man, Count Ericho.

PC Dave Litten was ambitious, and from his arrival at Sun Hill, expressed his interest in joining CID, and took every opportunity to try and impress Roy Galloway. He was quite bigoted in his views and preferred a firm policing style rather than the 'social worker' approach of his colleagues. Litten's eagerness was often misplaced and when he attempted to score Brownie points by taking information on a series of armed robberies directly to Galloway, he was reprimanded by both the DI and Bob Cryer. Eventually a successful board led to him being temporarily seconded to CID, whereupon he began lording it over his old mates in Uniform.

The former Jose Rizal Heavy Bomber in the NCAA first caught the attention of cage buffs when he made it as alternate in the RP Youth team which took part in the 1979 World Youth Basketball championship held in Brazil. He entered the PBA in 1981 and was taken by Presto Fun Drinks from their farm team in the MICAA. Victorino went on to hold his own at a time when all-time greats Ramon Fernandez and Abet Guidaben were lording it over in the league. His stock climbed phenomenally in a span of few years and was already challenging Fernandez and company for supremacy inside the paint.

On 28 August 1457, after four years of uneasy peace in England the king presided over a wasting realm, with feudal barons lording it over the population of the north and the west. The French took advantage of the situation by sending a raiding party to Kent, burning much of Sandwich to the ground. A force of around 4,000 men from Honfleur, under the command of Pierre de Brézé, Marshal of France, came ashore to pillage the town, in the process murdering the mayor, John Drury. It thereafter became an established tradition, which survives to this day, that the Mayor of Sandwich wears a black robe in mourning for this ignoble deed.

A cenotaph was erected in his name in Westminster Abbey. In 1599 Essex was appointed to lead an army into Ireland, but the expedition was largely a failure, and it was only in 1601 that the English took the upper hand, with their victory at the battle of Kinsale, which led to the submission of Tír Eoghain after the queen's death in 1603. Bingham's reputation has suffered on account of the harshness of his rule in Connacht, and he became the image of a cruel governor, lording it over the Irish without regard to justice or mercy. His apologists insist that everything he did during his tenure in that province was within the letter of his authority.

Due to gender imbalances, mixed marriages between Chinese men and indigenous women have long been common in PNG's Chinese community. The offspring of such marriages tended to be accepted as Chinese if they were raised within the community and learned the language. However, at the same time, the Chinese community tended to look down on indigenous people as "savages"; prior to independence, Chinese were in the middle tier of a racial hierarchy, discriminated against by whites but equally lording it over the indigenous people; after independence, they came to resent the political power those same indigenes had been given over them. Even within the Chinese community, tensions exist between different groups of immigrants.

His second phrase, "high officials", referred to lesser Roman officials who, having some limitations of power, "exercised authority" (not necessarily abusive power) over their citizens. In the nearly identical passages in all three Synoptic gospels, Jesus sternly commanded his disciple that "It shall not be so among you", clearly forbidding both abusive extreme "lording it over" others, and even more moderate, ordinary "exercise (of) authority" over others. Egalitarian Christians consider that this teaching of Jesus to the men who were the 12 Apostles trumps any subsequent teachings of Paul and Peter that Complementarians interpret as establishing "Husband-Headship" requiring "Wife-Submission", or denying women opportunities to serve in any leadership position within the Church. Authors Marsh and Moyise also understand this teaching of Jesus to forbid any hierarchy in all Christian relationships, even when there is no connotation of abuse of authority.

The cover of the book consists of a photograph of Porter which she had posed for use in a feature article about her in The Sunday Times. Jenny Diski, for the London Review of Books, was, however, critical of the cover, writing: > ...the picture on the front of Hosken's book is of Porter as a racial > caricature. Bright lumps of gold adorn her ears and finger, brass buttons > decorate her blazer, a gold smiley-face pendant hangs round her neck, the > most garish of orange lipstick outlines her lips, her arms are arrogantly > akimbo, her less than gracile facial features perform an ugly, over-bronzed > sneer of contempt. She is outsized against the background, looming over > London, the curse of the 50-foot woman, lording it over and diminishing the > Houses of Parliament and the City: common as muck and in control.

Gavin Hutchinson, purveyor of non- threatening holidays to the British masses has organised a reunion for his old school classmates. The reunion will take place on his latest project - a unique "floating holiday experience" on a converted North Sea oil rig, a haven for tourists who want a vacation in the sun but without the hassle of actually interacting with any foreigners. And what better way to test out his venture than to host a fifteenth-year high school reunion, the biggest social event of his life... except no one remembers who Gavin is. Gavin may have been a non- entity while at school in Auchenlea, but now that he's made his fortune, he's looking forward to lording it over his old classmates, especially now he's having an affair with Catherine O'Rourke, PR specialist and one-time pin-up for his male classmates at St Michael's.
