# 213 : Mad Cow belching out fumes

X is a Spanish fighting bull bred from the lineage of the X Cattle Ranch , located in Seville, Spain. The ranch originally belonged to Don Eduardo X Fernández, and is known for producing large and difficult fighting bulls.

Y is a famous example of X and is known for surviving 28 sword strokes on October 5, 1879. Y fought with such passion and spirit that the crowd called for his life to be spared, an honor which the matador bestowed.

The company Z has named many of its products after bulls of X breed and has a masterpiece named after Y.

# 212 : Attendez la crème

X is a type of layered pastry with a — most often sweet — filling inside, often served with cream. It  gained popularity in the 18th century through the Habsburg Empire.

The dough is worked vigorously, rested, and then rolled out and stretched by hand very thinly. Pertaining to anecdotes, purists say, it should be so thin that a newspaper can be read through it. A legend goes that the Austrian Emperor’s perfectionist cook decreed that it should be possible to read a love letter through it.

The title gives you a further hint. (Connect X to an insanely awkward moment from a Tarantino movie.)

#211: Of damsels and Italian secretaries.

Lifted from wiki. No googling for this one.

The conclusions of every department are passed to X, and X is the central exchange, the clearinghouse, which makes out the balance. All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience.

Y said the following about X:  “He has no ambition and no energy. He will not even go out of his way to verify his own solutions, and would rather be considered wrong than take the trouble to prove himself right. Again and again I have taken a problem to him, and have received an explanation which has afterwards proved to be the correct one. And yet he was absolutely incapable of working out the practical points.”

Id X and Y.

#210: ‘Bindass’ ‘Action’

X is a film created with the apparent intention of piggy-backing on the publicity of a major film with a similar title or theme and are often made with a low budget. Often these films are created to be released direct-to-video at the same time as the mainstream film reaches theaters or video outlets.

It is possible to use properties of this sort to intentionally deceive consumers into mistakenly purchasing the derivative title. Some examples are:
