• Ataturk — The honorary surname granted to Mustafa Kemal (1881–1938), military commander, statesman, founder, and first president of the Republic of Turkey.

• Bolojan's political pride — A political and journalistic phrase used in Romanian public discourse to describe the intransigent, determined, and often inflexible administrative style of politician Ilie Bolojan (president of the Bihor County Council and central figure of the National Liberal Party).
