Richard the Third
There's been a lot of commentary following the outcome of the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation trial. One of the highlights
of the case, which has been the source of much hilarity and derision, was the revelation—although I'm pretty sure that it was publicly known years ago—of Heard taking a dump in the marital bed, and later trying to pass the blame onto one of the couple's lapdogs. She now lives in infamy as Amber Turd.
In 20 years you're gonna be like:Oh Amber, I remember her. I remember her, because it rhymes withturd.

And, in one fell swoop, one AH has done for her family name what another did for his, over 75 years ago! (hitler)
A Richard the Third
, or Richard
, is Cockney rhyming slang for turd.
British comedian, Ronnie Barker, told a story of a man who saw a small, brown Richard
lying on the pavement.
He stared at it there, on the ground at his feet. Then he said Oh small,
brown
He picked it up, and put it on top of a wall where no one else could tread on it…Richard the Third
, how lucky I did not step on you!
…And the small, brown Richard the Third
flew back to its nest.
A year on, and a recent update raised this comment which made me laugh inordinately:
The thing I remember most about this case was Amber Heard's morning routine: Wake up - Have a poo - Get out of bed
