Anna Kournikova
 n.— «A-K is most commonly known as “big slick,” but recently it’s been renamed “Anna Kournikova.” Sure, it works because of the A-K initials, but the real reason is that like the lovely tennis pro, it looks great and rarely wins.» —“Trump ‘Darth Vader’ with ‘pocket rockets’” by Jill Cohen Desert Sun (Palm Springs, California) Dec. 28, 2005.
