"______, thy name is ______"
History:
In most instances, the usage is an allusion
to the Shakespearean play
Hamlet (I, ii, 146).
In this work, the title character is chastised by his uncle (and new
stepfather), Claudius, for grieving his father so much, calling it unmanly. In
his resultant soliloquy, Hamlet denounces his mother's swift remarriage with
the statement,
"Frailty, thy name is
woman."
He thus describes all of womankind as frail and
weak in character. The phrase is recognized as one of the "memorable
expressions" from the play to become "proverbial".
*I
got an offer.
= I got a job.
Breadwinner (noun) /ˈbredˌwɪn.ər/
› the member of a family who earns the

Pope John Paul II
He was elected by the second Papal conclave of 1978, which was called after Pope John Paul I, who was elected in August after the death of Pope Paul VI, died after thirty-three days. Cardinal Wojtyła was elected on the third day of the conclave and adopted his predecessor's name in tribute to him. In the years since his death, John Paul II has been canonised as a saint by the Catholic Church. He is referred to by Catholics as St. John Paul the Great, for example as a name for institutions.
Saint Peter
Saint Peter (Greek: Πέτρος Petros, Syriac/Aramaic: ܫܸܡܥܘܿܢ ܟܹ݁ܐܦ݂ܵܐ, Shemayon Keppa, Hebrew: שמעון בר יונה Shim'on Bar Yona, Latin: Petrus; died c. 64 AD[2]), also known as Simon Peter, Simeon, or Simōn, according to the New Testament, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, leaders of the early Christian Church . The Roman Catholic Church considers him to be the first Pope, ordained by Jesus in the "Rock of My Church" dialogue in Matthew 16:18. The ancient Christian churches all venerate Peter as a major saint and associate him with founding the Church of Antioch and later the Church in Rome, but differ about the authority of his various successors in present-day Christianity.
