a "prince" of the Catholic Church; cardinals elect the pope. They are usually bishops. They wear scarlet dresses.
Are the St. Louis cardinals named after birds or the "princes" of the Catholic Church?

Nickname of sports teams at Leland Stanfurd Junior University. Named after the color, hence teams are called "the cardinal" as opposed to "the Cardinals" The name was chosen due to a lack of creativity on campus after the "Indians" name was terminated due to political correctness.

Person 1: I asked for your favorite college football team, not your favorite color...

He’s a really chill guy who auto pilot’s his way through life, he can be a genuinely great person but isn’t always open minded and can slip up and make a mistake, he doesn’t try to, he is just unaware. Although he has flaws he knows the right from wrongs and tries to problem solve for other people, but can’t do the same for himself, he isn’t too good with relationships but if you date him, he’ll try his best. He is a shy guy until you get to know him, the more comfortable he is with you, the more energetic he will be. He has many hobbies but still gets bored. His family relationship isn’t too grand but it isn’t horrible. He isn’t patient and has anger issues, but luckily he can be very loving and caring.
I met a guy named Cardin online, he seems pretty interesting

The Cardinal is a majestic being. He is intangible, yet will take blow jobs from the most attractive of females. His title is riddled with irony as he is actually a bad-ass mother fucker and is often referred to as Cardinal Mad-Fuck. He has been known to take on the form of a Grizzly Bear at the week-ends so he can basically just wreck cunts.

Nick Cave based his songs "Stagger Lee" and "O'Malley's Bar" on The Cardinal.

The Cardinal hangs out at Club Trax. He wines and dines on only the finest food and drink (kebabs and barricks). He hangs with only the freshest niggas in the hood (The Hurricane, Spicey, Mr. Allen, The Young Fuck and co.). He has been known to indulge in a bit of recreational drug use and highly recommends Northern Lights weed.
I heard The Cardinal is gonna be here tonight...
