Leonard Hofstadter is a fictional character in the television show The Big Bang Theory.
Leonard is from New Jersey.
His father is an anthropologist and his mother is a neuroscientist.
Leonard’s parents made him learn to play the cello and become a scientist even though he wanted to be a rapper “like Snoop Dogg but with a little more healthy respect for the police”.
Leonard was on the debate team in school and says that if he had not had glasses, he would have been “the coolest kid on the debate team to get constantly shoved into his locker.”
Leonard also mentions that he once had a bully who gave him such a terrible wedgie that it temporarily moved one of his testicles.
He also says that he hated high school because he was never popular and that his mother never let him celebrate his birthday because “that was her accomplishment, not mine” and that his parents never paid attention to his achievements.
Leonard got his Phd at Princeton and got a job working at Caltech.
He became a roommate of Sheldon Cooper because he couldn’t afford an apartment with only his own money.
He almost accidentally gave American nuclear secrets to his girlfriend Joyce Kim not realizing that she was a North Korean spy but Sheldon Cooper annoyed her so much that she left before he could give her anything.
When a beautiful  girl named Penny moves in across the hall from Leonard and Sheldon, Leonard falls in love with her.
Leonard tried to get her to like him but thanks to Sheldon she finds out that Leonard has Luke Skywalker shampoo and Darth Vader conditioner uses the periodic table as a shower curtain and plays boggle in Klingon with his friends including Sheldon, Rajesh Koothrapalli and Howard Wolowitz leading her to think that he is a nerd.
For most of the show Leonard is trying to start a relationship with Penny and they eventually date and get married.

A swirly or swirlie is a form of bullying in which the victim's head is put into a toilet.
Some people have questioned whether swirlies are real or whether they were invented for television and other fiction.
On television, one or more bigger people, usually high school boys, pick up the victim.
Then they dunk the victim's head in a toilet and flush it.
The swirling water gives the swirly its name.
For example, on the television show Archer, Archer tells Lana about how he got pneumonia from getting a swirly in high school: Two bigger boys had picked him up, turned him upside down, and put his head in a toilet.
On The Simpsons, Bart Simpson gets a swirly from Jimbo Jones.
There are a few reports of swirlies in real life.
In some, the "victim" agreed to be part of the swirly.
In other reports, the victim describes the swirly almost exactly like a swirly in fiction.
One Blair Academy wrestler talked about being given swirlies and other abuse from older teammates.
In others, the person giving the swirly is an adult or even a parent and not an older child.

A corn dog is a sausage on a stick coated in a thick layer of cornmeal batter and deep-fried.
The sausage used in a corn dog is usually the same types that are used in hot dogs.
It is a popular type of fast food or street food.
Corn dogs originate from the United States in the 1920s.
It is commonly found in American cuisine.
They are found as a frozen food at most supermarkets.
Corn dogs were first introduced by German Texans in the 1920s.
The corn dog was first made as just a sausage rolled in cornbread battered and fried.
Many years later, sticks were added to corn dogs as a unique food-holding tool that would later create the modern corn dog.
On 1927, the idea of fried food on a stick was filed for a patent in the US.
On 1929, the patent was accepted.
On the patent, it states that many foods other than sausages can also be used in the same way that a corn dog is prepared.
The patent also states that by having a stick, the stick would allow the fried food to be handled and eaten in a cleaner way.
The earliest known year when the corn dog was first prepared in the US was on 1937.
During a high school baseball game in Adel, Iowa, ballpark vendors ran out of hot dog buns for their hot dogs.
Roger Newman, a local tavern owner who runs one of the vendors, took the remaining hot dogs in order to make corn dogs without sticks.
He breaded each hot dog in a cornmeal batter that he had prepared for an upcoming fish fry, and returned to the ballpark with these corn dogs.
Even though there were not any sticks for any of the corn dogs, patrons held the corn dogs with a wide variety of different methods.
Some patrons held the corn dogs with wax paper, paper cones, and even pocket knives.
Many current corn dog vendors believed that they invented or popularized the corn dog.
Carl and Neil Fletcher claimed that they had popularized the corn dog by introducing "Corny Dogs" at the State Fair of Texas sometime between 1938 and 1942.
The Pronto Pup vendors at the Minnesota State Fair claim to have invented the corn dog in 1941.
On June 16, 1946, Cozy Dog Drive-in, in Springfield, Illinois, claims to have been the first to serve corn dogs on sticks.
Also on 1946, Dave Barham opened the first location of Hot Dog on a Stick at Muscle Beach in Santa Monica, California.

The university's arms were granted on 18 March 1955 by Garter, Clarenceux and Norroy and Ulster Kings of Arms to the Birmingham Corporation.
This was for use by the former College of Technology.
They were designed to show the College's connection with the City and with the teaching of technology.
The shield has two sections – the field (the main background) and a chief (the broad band across the top of the shield).
The field is
coloured blue.
The chief is coloured silver.
On the field is a diagonal line of five gold diamonds joined one to the other.
This is similar to the first quarter of the Arms of the City of Birmingham.
It is incorporated in the Arms of the College to show its connection to the City.
On the chief is depicted an open book bound in red placed between two black hammers.
This shows the connection of the University with technology.
The book represents learning.
The hammers represent engineering and allied trades.
The crest is designed to stress the pursuit of knowledge.
It consists of a red torch held erect by a forearm between two branches of gold laurel.
Originally it would have been worn on the helmet of a fully armed person.
The crest is always placed on the top of the helm.
The method of joining the crest to the helm was usually concealed by decoration.
In the University's arms this is done by the use of a wreath and a crown.
The wreath is silver, red, and black.
These colours being taken from the shield.
On top is a mural crown (resembling a wall).
This is reserved in modern grants for persons and organisations connected with public corporations.
The cloth mantling hangs down from the top of the helm.
This represents the cloak which was originally worn to protect the armour.
It is coloured blue and gold.
These being the two principal colours of the shield.
In 2016, Her Majesty's College of Arms granted the favour of supporters to Aston University's arms.
This marked the 50th anniversary of the University.
Professor Julia King, the Baroness Brown of Cambridge, the Vice-Chancellor, had made the request.
The arms are supported by a Canada goose and a red squirrel.
The Canada goose is a symbol.
It represents the family of geese living on the University campus.
The squirrel is the crest of the arms of Aston Manor.
This is a rebus. (
The picture is a pun on the persons name.
The owners of Aston Manor were the Holte family and a squirrel's nest is called a holt).
This explains the ancient connection between the squirrel and Aston.
The animal also appears on the University mace.
It also appears on the Chancellor's chain of office.
This chain was originally the property of the Mayor of Aston Manor.
The gorse around the animals' necks is a reference to Gosta Green.
It was known as Gostie Green during the 18th century.
This combined the name of the landowner (William de Gorsty) with the local plant called 'gorse'
