avant la lettre: This is a cool expression that I have never quite had the nerve to use. Not because of anti-French sentiment, but because it never seems to look quite natural when I try it on. I decline, with regret, to wear a cowboy hat for the same reason.
But maybe you can make it—the expression—work for you. It means “before there was a name for [some quality or category].” As in, “My great-uncle Llewellyn was a flower child avant la lettre.” “Robert E. Lee was passive-aggressive avant la lettre. Or, to be really literal, “Snakes were making the s sound avant la lettre.”

Either you’re the ball-buster or the not-so-attractive girlfriend standing by the lead. I mean, traditionally not so attractive. Because you have your starlets and then you have their best friends who are these character actresses. When you fall within the cracks, you thank God for sci-fi, because they’ll give you a gun, and they’ll say, ‘Go over there and conquer that world. You kick some ass, girl!’

“What I would try to communicate about tea is that it can console you, it can start your day. There’s the warmth and the ritual- and you can share it! You make someone a cup of tea. You offer it to them, and you give it to them.” (via Matt Smith on Victoria Wood’s Nice Cup of Tea)

Since the end of The IT Crowd, the hit U.K. comedy has given us major international stars in both Chris O’Dowd and Richard Ayoade. Furthermore, the sitcom has become a massive success on Netflix as well for it’s become one of the most watched programs on the service’s streaming section. In the years following the last episode, there’s been promise of one last special episode to successfully wrap up the story in a final bow.
